In the regular sentence order of English, the subjects come before predicates and verbs come before objects. In English, there are variations in sentence order. Although these variations cause some confusion, a speaker of English can use them to highlight an important point in the sentence.

A cleft sentence is a complex sentence in which a simple sentence is expressed using a main clause and a
the environment, he constructs sentences that indicate how Marlowe assimilates the information: characters perform three or more acts successively and Marlowe notices every movement, recording it at once. Therefore, Chandler builds sentences that contain as many separate actions as possible to reflect how fast the character performs the act, rather than isolate single actions in single sentences that break the action up.
