It was/were my sisters that were dancing. (?)
0 I was reading a special English sentence stucture called "cleft sentence" in my grammar book, and I found one sentence I think is sort of strange: 02 br
02 br
00 It 01 b 00 was 02 b 00 01 u 00 my sisters 02 u 00 that were dancing. 02 br
02 br
00 I think that since the subject is " 01 u 00 my sisters 02 u 00 ", then why it has a singular verb " 01 b 00 was 02 b 00 " in front of it? 02 br
02 br
00 Or it just what the stucture of "cleft sentence" is like? Please give me your opinion, thank you! 0-
