Here is an example of a supposedly cleft sentence taken from A Grammar of Modern Tamil by Thomas Lehman:
What there is are a house to live in.
I think there is something wrong with it, but, of course, he tries to translate a Tamil sentence into some technical English. Should we say: what there is is houses to live in?
