They allow you to highlight new or important information, drawing the listener’s or reader’s attention to what matters most. Instead of a simple sentence like I met John yesterday, you can use a cleft sentence to emphasize ‘John’ (It was John that I met yesterday) or ‘yesterday’ (It was yesterday that I met John). This technique is common in advanced English, helping you sound more natural and sophisticated, especially when telling stories, explaining complex ideas, or correcting misunderstandings.
