Hi! I found this on a TOEFL preparation website: https://www.examenglish.com/TOEFL/toefl_reading.htm
[FONT="] He tried to find work as a freelance journalist and[/FONT][FONT="] it was here that [/FONT][FONT="]he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more American.[/FONT]
[FONT="] In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]and it was here over the next three years[/FONT][FONT="] that he built his reputation as a war photographer.[/FONT][FONT="] It was here too[/FONT][FONT="]in 1936 that he took one of his most famous pictures, [/FONT]The Death of a Loyalist Soldier.
I find the use of it was here... somewhat odd. Are these sentences correct?
Thanks!
