Glossary: extraposition
Explanation
The movement of a string of words to the left or to the right in a sentence. For example, in the sentence It is wonderful to see you, the Subject clause to see you has been moved to a sentence-final position, and nonreferential it has been put in its place. The canonical form of the sentence (without extraposition) would be To see you is wonderful.Englicious contains many resources for English language in schools, but the vast majority of them require you to register and log in first.
