It is + demonstrative pronoun these

English Language & Usage Asked by Maryna Bruyeva on August 31, 2021

what would be the correct usage and difference in meaning in the sentences below:

  1. It is these small steps that let us …

or

  1. These are the small steps that let us …

One Answer

In the first sentence you insist a little on the fact that the reason for being able to do something is the possibility of taking the few small steps in question.
In the second you merely introduce those steps as being the reason. However, the difference is small and some people might not feel that it exists.
