emphasis

Ways to emphasize:

• By cleft sentences 
• Use of auxiliary verbs 
• Other ways of emphasizing

how you form cleft sentences

• Use ‘only’ or ‘all’                                                                                                                            All I need is you 
• Start with a wh- (what, when, where, why) sentence.                                             What we need to do is help her  
•  Use ‘it’ + form of ‘be’                                                                                                                It was you who started the fight (not someone else)

cleft sentences

• In a cleft sentences a single message is divided (cleft) into two clauses. 
• Cleft sentences are used to focus on a particular part of the sentence and to emphasize a message. 
• Use of ‘an extra’ relative clause (a clause that says something about a noun), while a simple sentence is possible as well.  

-  I sent a letter which arrived three weeks later.

- We went to dinner at this restaurant that I  really like.                 

- The only thing I need is you.  

cleft sentence

Can be used to emphasize the subject or the object (lijdend vw or meew. vw) of the sentence: 

• My brother cut down the apple tree 
• It was my brother who cut down the apple tree (emphasis on the brother) 
• It was the apple tree that my brother cut down (emphasis on the apple tree)  

auxiliary verb spoken English

Normally an auxiliary verb is not stressed  

I am -> I’m 

I will -> I’ll 

She is -> she’s  

auxiliary verbs

When the verb is stressed it puts extra emphasis on the sentence: 

I will go to work tomorrow, sick or not sick 

I do want to go to the museum before the exhibition is closed.  

You did go to the store today, didn’t you?

other ways of emphasising

• Adding ‘so’ and ‘such’           She is such a wonderful girl! 
• Intensifying adverbs               He is completely crazy! 
• Adding ‘on Earth’                     Why on Earth did you go to that party?
