Cleft sentences are essential syntactic constructions in English that emphasize specific elements by dividing a sentence into two clauses. This article explores their structural and functional aspects, demonstrating how cleft sentences enhance clarity, focus, and information structuring in various contexts, such as literature, journalism, and everyday conversation. The study also highlights the implications for teaching English as a second language and provides practical tips for learners. Through detailed examples and comparative analysis, this comprehensive examination underscores the importance of cleft sentences in effective communication.
