EMPHASIS UNIT 3

Power point

(Adapted from Advanced Language Practice, M. Vince, Macmillan 2003)

Fronting and inversion

Inversion can involve changing the normal word order in a sentence so that a prepositional
phrase is emphasized before the verb. It also means that we put the verb before the subject.
Down into the sea dived the dolphin. Suddenly up went the balloon.

Fronting involves changing the order of clauses in a sentence and putting a clause which would
not normally be first at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis.
I don’t know how Paul got the job. How Paul got the job, I don’t know.

Time phrases can also vary in position, they can be placed at the beginning of the sentence for
emphasis.
At 10 o’clock Maria decided to call the midwife.

May clauses
There is a type of may clause introduced by although which can be inverted, but it is extremely
formal.
Although it seems very unlikely, the political science department may have to close for financial
reasons.
Unlikely as it may seem, the political science department may have to close for financial
reasons.

Cleft and pseudo cleft sentences

This type of sentence starts with it is/ it was or by a clause beginning with what. In this way
different parts of the sentence can be emphasized.
Dave broke the window.
It was Dave who broke the window.
It was this morning that Dave sent the report.
It was my computer that crashed.

Because can also be used in this way.

It was because I was pregnant that I decided to return from Japan.

Modal auxiliaries can also be used in this way.

You can’t have read the same book.
It can’t have been the same book that you read.

What clauses
This type of clause is frequently used with verbs such as want, like, need, hate
I hate windy weather.
What I hate is windy weather.
You need a good strong coffee and a cigarette.
What you need is a good, strong coffee and a cigarette.

Do and did can also be used for emphasis.

Peter switched the electricity off at the mains.
What Peter did was to switch off the electricity at the mains.
The rector is investing the profits in the new library.
What the rector is doing is investing the profits in the new library.
Auxiliary do
This can emphasise the verb and is stressed in speech.
I do like your dress, it really suits you.
Do have a coffee.

Other types of emphasis

Time phrases
We can use certain time phrases for emphasis, for example, day after day, time after time, over
and over again, day in, day out

I’ve told you time and time again not to eat food in the bedroom.
He smokes day in, day out.
I read the list of phrasal verbs over and over again.
The teacher makes us do dictations day after day.

Emphasis

Complete the following transformations so that the second sentence has the same or a
similar meaning to the first.

1. I can’t stand getting up early.

What ______________________________________________________________________

2. Keith told me about the hotel.

It ___________________________________________________________ about the hotel.

3. Please stay a bit longer.

Do ________________________________________________________________________

4. I don’t know who is going to pay for the damage.

Who _______________________________________________________________ know.

5. You did something that was wrong.

What ______________________________________________________________ wrong.

6. I don’t know how Chris passed the exam.

7. Although the entrance fee may seem expensive, it is good value for money.

Expensive __________________________________ the entrance fee is good value for money.

8. Every day, it’s the same old routine at work.

Day ________________________________________________ the same old routine at work.
