About "Cleft Sentence"
Dear All:
I make some sentences using the structure of cleft sentences.
Can you please kindly check them to see which are proper?
1. It is the storeroom that the table is put in.
2. It is the storeroom in which the table is put.
3. It is in the storeroom which the table is put.
4. It is in the storeroom that the table is put.
I think one or two among the four are not proper.
And I think it would be another case of style without "put."
5. It is the storeroom that the table is in.
6. It is the storeroom in which the table is.
7. It is in the storeroom which the table is.
8. It is in the storeroom that the table is.
Somehow, I feel them (5~8) not so right...
Best Regards

2. It is the storeroom in which the table is put. OK, but still awkward. I would say: It is the storeroom in which the table was put. OR It is the storeroom where we put the table. - This is identifying a particular storeroom.
