Some Emphasis Forms in English 2007-10-25 05:50:00 There are a number of ways to add emphasis to your sentences in English
. Use these forms to emphasize your statements when you are expressing your opinions, disagreeing, making strong suggestions, expressing annoyance, etc.1. Use of the PassiveThe passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an action. Generally, more emphasis is given to the beginning of a sentence.

Inversion Invert the word order by placing a prepositional phrase or other expression (at no time, suddenly into, little, seldom, never, etc.) at the beginning of the sentence followed by inverted word order.Examples: At no time did I say you couldn't come.Hardly had I arrived when he started complaining.Little did I understand what was happening.S Read more:Forms

Mistakes in Using words 2007-09-29 13:53:00 Từ hay bị dùng lầm:‘Grand slam’, ‘former’, ‘pair’- ‘Grand slam’ – theo Từ điển Macquarie:‘đoạt chức vô địch các môn thể thao như tennis, golf, vv, trong một số giải lớn.’-Peter Longman, biên tập viên chuyên mục Thể Thao, Radio ABC, giải thích thêm:‘Một grand slam trong tennis là chiến thắng trong các giải trọng đại trong cùng một năm, ví dụ: đoạt chức vô địch giải Úc, Pháp, Mỹ và Wimbledon (Anh) trong cùng một năm. Vậy giải Úc Mở Rộng (Australian Open) là một phần của ‘grand slam’. Thuật ngữ grand slam bắt nguồn từ môn tennis.’Vậy ta nên dùng ‘grand slam’ để mô tả những kỳ công thể thao xứng đáng mà thôi.- former: cựu, cũMột ‘former Prime Minister’ là một người không còn làm thủ tứơng.
