Emphatic structures (1): do, does, did
This material focuses on emphatic structures in English grammar, specifically using 'do,' 'does,' and 'did' to add emphasis to affirmative and imperative sentences. It explains how to use these auxiliary verbs to stress actions or feelings, providing examples of how to transform regular sentences into more emphatic ones. The material also addresses the correct usage of full forms ('do not,' 'does not,' 'did not') in negative sentences for added emphasis, as well as emphasizing the verb 'to be' and continuous/perfect tenses by using full affirmative and negative forms. The exercises provided allow learners to put these concepts into practice, by making conversations more emphatic and responding to statements with emphasis.
