Let's talk about Cleft Sentences What Are Cleft Sentences?A
cleft sentence is a
complex sentence that can be explained in a
simple sentence. By using cleft sentences, we put
emphasis on an element by
rearranging the normal word order of the sentence with the help of a dummy words such as 'it' or 'that''. In every language, there are various ways to put emphasis or focus on different parts of a sentence.
Why Do We Use Cleft Sentences?
Cleft sentences are used especially in
spoken English to join the part of a meaning that is
understood to the part of the meaning that is
new to the listener. Using a cleft sentence is one way
to add emphasis to what we want to say. Here are some examples:
I called you Monday
Men senga dushanba kuni telefon qildim.
It was Monday that/when I called you.
Men senga telefon qilganimda DUSHANBA edi
Bu yerda men telefon qilgan kun dushanba ekanligiga urg'u beryapmiz
I want a cup of coffee right now
Men hozir bir chashka kofe xohlayman

is a cup of coffee. Men hozir
xohlayotgan narsa bu bir chashka kofe
