Cleft sentences focus one element. Learners reformulate statements using It is/was ... that/who ... and complete answers that correct a detail. Examples contrast applying for babysitting with dog walking, buying a bicycle with a new motorbike, and identifying Lan versus Tuan as the best decision-maker. A speaking prompt asks, “Is it you who does the cooking at home?” The focused phrase follows It is/was, while the remaining clause identifies its grammatical role.
