Cleft Sentences Structures include the reason why, the thing that, the person/people
who, the place where, the day when and what clauses usually linked to the clause with is or
was.

It is sometimes very effective to use all instead of what in a cleft structure if you want to focus
on one particular thing and nothing else.

Cleft structures with what-clauses are also often used with does/do/did and with the verb
happen when we want to give emphasis to the whole sentence, rather than a particular
clause.

Finally, we can also use it in cleft sentences and join the words that we want to focus on to the
relative clauses with that, who, or when.

Eg: It was my brother who bought the bike.
