What I wanted to know was whether we can use "that" as a provisional subject just as we use "it" in cleft sentence. For example, "It is a silly fish that is caught twice." Can this be written as "That is a silly fish that is caught twice" ?
Thanks for your help Mister Micawber. I have another question though regarding the cleft sentences. "It's a fact that the Earth moves round the Sun." Here "it" represents the nominal "that the Earth moves round the Sun" Similarly "to+infinitive clauses" can also be represented by "it" as in "It's good to be home". But, can we use "it" as the provisional subject for a single no
