1367: Rearranging Sentences around Pronouns Sep 8, 2018

English speakers have no problem with impersonal pronouns like 'it' such as "it is raining". While the word-order in most sentences with a predicate adjective (one after a form of 'to be') can be switched even if it sounded a bit peculiar or archaic to fit different syntactic structures, such as "a man is foolish who..." and "it is a foolish man who". This is not a hard rule however, because while many sentences demand an impersonal pronoun, just about any iteration of the above sentence is possible, such as in "foolish is the man who never reads a newspaper" (-August von Schlözer) though this may not be the most common.
