GRAMMAR FOCUS
Work individually. Study the information below.
Emphasis
Emphasis accentuates this or that part of a sentence by use of:
EMPHATIC WORDS AND CONSTRUCTIONS:
It is/was … who/which/that …, e.g. It was his neighbor who had made the call to police.
All (that) = the only thing, e.g. All (that) she cares about is her career. All (that) he did was tell me lies.
What…, e.g. What keeps me in shape is aerobics. or Aerobics is what keeps me in shape.
What … do… (to emphasise an action performed by someone), e.g. Dave lost his job and was short of money, so what he did was (to) sell his flat and move in with his brother.
Question word (except for which and whose) + ever…, e.g. Why ever did you tell the truth?
Question words (except for why) + ever can be written as one word, e.g. Whoever told you I was engaged?
We also use ever to put emphasis on negative sentences, e.g. Nobody should ever know our secret. I’m sure I haven’t seen this woman ever before.
Do/Does/Did + bare infinitive…, e.g. Do stop talking. She does like her job. I did say so and I can repeat it again.
Ex. Change the sentences as in the example:
I don’t need pepper. I need salt.
It’s not pepper I need, it’s salt.
Sarah isn’t a nurse. Mary is.
We didn’t go to the cinema. We went to the theatre.
I don’t like coffee. I prefer tea.
I didn’t go abroad last summer. My sister did.

Ex. Rewrite these packaging tips using ‘what’, as in the example.
