Rewrite the following sentence, writing a cleft sentence with the underlined element into the gap. Mind your spelling!



Q. Pete ran through the gate.

A. ........... through the gate.



Thank you.
 
Welcome to UsingEnglish.

We do not do homework or assignments for people.
 
I know, but I need help. That's why I'm asking.
 
See also #6 of the Main Rules.
 
Yeah, actually -- I'm pretty sure you didn't ask. You commanded us. Ordered us. Told us to watch our spelling. But I'm pretty sure there was no "asking."

Despite your rude approach, I wlll give you this hint: A cleft sentence starts with "It."

I assume that beginning remarks were part of the assignment from the teacher.
 
I assume so too, but I also assume the people should be able to understand basic politeness. The poster could check OUR spelling before delivering our work as his own to his teacher and omit that phrase from his commands to us.

Simply adding a "please" to the original post would have made world of difference.
