Cleft sentence untuk penekanan

Cleft sentences for emphasis

Pakai it-cleft dan what-cleft untuk memfokuskan bagian terpenting dalam kalimat.

cleft sentence memecah satu gagasan menjadi dua klausa agar satu bagian mendapat perhatian khusus. Kalimat netral Tariq broke the news bisa dibentuk ulang untuk menekankan siapa yang melakukannya, atau apa yang terjadi. Cleft umum dipakai dalam pidato, esai, dan percakapan yang cermat, tempat cleft membantu kamu mengarahkan pendengar ke poin utamamu.

JenisPolaContoh
It-cleftIt + be + focus + that / who clauseIt was Maya who proposed the change.
It-cleft (time, place)It + be + adverbial + that clauseIt was in Lisbon that we first met.
What-cleftWhat + clause + be + focusWhat annoyed me was the lack of any explanation.
All-cleftAll + clause + be + focusAll we need is a little more time.
Reason / thing / placeThe reason / thing + clause + be + focusThe thing that worries me is the schedule.
Reversed what-cleftFocus + be + what clauseA quiet life is what she wants.

Dalam it-cleft, unsur yang difokuskan bisa berupa orang, benda, waktu, atau tempat, dan diikuti oleh that (atau who untuk orang). Untuk keterangan waktu, bahasa Inggris sangat memilih that: It was not until the third interview that she mentioned the salary. Dalam what-cleft, what berarti the thing that, dan kata kerja be menghubungkan kedua bagian. Ketika fokusnya frasa kata kerja, biasanya diawali to atau infinitive tanpa to: What I'd like to do is (to) take a year off.

Menggambarkan kejadian

Untuk menceritakan rangkaian kejadian dengan nuansa menegangkan, pakai What happened was (that) ... atau What happened next was .... Kata that sering dihilangkan dalam percakapan, tetapi berguna dalam tulisan.

  • It is your attitude, not your ability, that concerns me.
  • What happened next was that the funding was withdrawn.
  • What we did was book the tickets before they sold out.
  • It was not Mina's apology but her honesty that impressed us.
