50 Bài tập về Câu chẻ trong Tiếng Anh cực hay có lời giải

Phần I. Lý thuyết

1. Nhấn mạnh chủ từ (Subject focus)

a. Với chủ ngữ chỉ người

It + is/was + Noun/pronoun (danh từ/đại từ - chỉ người) + that/who + V + O …

Ex: Câu gốc: My sister gave me this gift. (Chị tôi đã tặng cho tôi món quà này.)

Câu chẻ: It was my sister who/that gave me this present. (Chính chị tôi là người đã tặng cho tôi món quà này.)

→ Nhấn mạnh chủ ngữ chỉ người “my sister”.

b. Với chủ ngữ chỉ vật

It + is / was + Noun (danh từ - chỉ vật) + that + V + O …

Ex: Câu gốc: His bad behavior made the teacher angry. (Cách cư xử tệ của anh ta đã khiến giáo viên tức giận.)

Câu chẻ: It was his bad behavior that made the teacher angry. (Chính cách cư xử tệ của anh ta khiến giáo viên tức giận.)

→ Nhấn mạnh chủ ngữ chỉ vật “His bad behavior”

2. Nhấn mạnh tân ngữ (Object focus)

a. Với tân ngữ chỉ người

It + is/ was + Object (chỉ người) + that/ whom + S + V…

Trong trường hợp danh từ chỉ người là danh từ riêng (tên riêng) thì chỉ được dùng “THAT” trong cấu trúc trên.

Ex: Câu gốc: I met Tuan by chance when I traveled in Hue. (Tôi đã tình cờ gặp Tuấn khi tôi đi dịch ở Huế)

Câu chẻ: It was Tuan that I met by chance when I traveled in Hue. (Tuấn chính là người mà tôi đã tình cờ gặp khi đi du lịch ở Huế.)

→ Nhấn mạnh tân ngữ chỉ người “Tuan”

*Note: Vì “Tuan” là danh từ riêng (tên người) nên ở đây, ta chỉ được dùng “that” để nhấn mạnh tân ngữ, không dùng “whom”.

b. Với tân ngữ chỉ vật

It + is/ was + Object (chỉ vật) + that + S + V…

Ex: Câu gốc: I borrowed this motorbike from my best friend. (Tôi đã mượn chiếc xe máy này từ người bạn thân.)

Câu chẻ: It was this motorbike that I borrowed from my best friend. (Chiếc xe máy này chính là vật mà tôi mượn từ người bạn thân.)

→ Nhấn mạnh tân ngữ chỉ vật “this motorbike”

3. Nhấn mạnh trạng từ (Adverbial focus): trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn (place), thời gian (time)

It + is/ was + Adverbial phrase (trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn/thời gian) + that + S + V…

Ex: Câu gốc: I got married to her on this day 2 years ago. (Tôi đã kết hôn với cô ấy vào ngày này 2 năm trước.)

Câu chẻ: It was on this day 2 years ago that I got married to her. (Ngày này 2 năm trước là lúc mà tôi kết hôn với cô ấy.)

→ Nhấn mạnh trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian: “on this day 2 years ago”

4. Câu chẻ bị động (Cleft sentences in the passive)

a. Với danh từ/ đại từ chỉ người

It + is/ was + Noun/ pronoun (chỉ người) + that/ who + be + V3/-ed…

Ex: Câu gốc: The director criticized him in the meeting beacause his report had so many mistakes. (Giám đốc đã phê bình anh ta trong cuộc họp bởi vì báo cáo của anh ta có quá nhiều lỗi sai.)

Câu chẻ: It was he who was criticized by the director in the meeting because his report had so many mistakes. (Chính anh ta là người bị giám đốc phê bình trong cuộc họp bởi vì báo cáo của anh ta có quá nhiều lỗi sai.)

b. Với danh từ chỉ vật

It + is/ was + Noun (chỉ vật) + that + be + V3/-ed…

Ex: Câu gốc: My parents are talking about my sister’s wedding.

Câu chẻ: It is my sister’s wedding that is being talked about (by my parents). (Lễ cưới của chị gái tôi là chuyện mà đang được(bố mẹ tôi) nói tới.)

5. Nhấn mạnh với What (What focus)

Đây là loại câu cấu trúc câu chẻ đặc biệt mà thông tin cần nhấn mạnh thường được đặt ở cuối. Do đó, mệnh đề “what” được đặt ở đầu câu và trong một số trường hợp, người ta không chỉ có thể dùng “what” mà còn được dùng các đại từ quan hệ khác như “where”, “why” hay “how”. Do những đặc trưng riêng về vị trí từ loại, cách làm câu chẻ trong tiếng Anh với “what” cũng có nhiều khác biệt so với “it”. 

Cấu trúc: What clause + V + câu hoặc từ được dùng để nhấn mạnh

Ex: What Tim likes to eat for dinner is always hot pot. (Thứ mà Tim muốn ăn vào bữa tối thì luôn luôn là lẩu.)

6. Một vài cấu trúc câu chẻ nâng cao khác

Bên cạnh những cấu trúc cơ bản thông dụng được sử dụng ở trên, trong tiếng Anh chúng ta hoàn toàn có thể bắt gặp các cách sử dụng nâng cao khác như:

a. Câu chẻ với “wh” đảo ngược

Ex: A real love is what everybody wants to have. (Tình yêu thực sự là điều mà bất kỳ ai cũng muốn có được.)

b. Cấu trúc câu chẻ nhấn mạnh với “all”

Ex: All I want for this special day is you. (Tất cả những điều anh muốn có trong ngày đặc biệt này là em.)

c. Cấu trúc câu chẻ nhấn mạnh với “there”

Ex: There is an old book she really wants to have. (Có một cuốn sách cũ cô ấy thực sự rất muốn có được.)

d. Cấu trúc câu chẻ nhấn mạnh với “if”

Ex: If she wants to become a teacher it’s because she admires her teachers a lot. (Nếu cô ấy muốn trở thành giáo viên thì đó là vì cô ấy ngưỡng mộ thầy cô của mình rất nhiều.)
