There are many ways to express emphasis in English. According to the author's incomplete statistics, there are more than a dozen English textbooks for middle schools alone. The following is a summary for teaching reference.

First of all, emphasis is expressed through various lexical and phrasal means.

1. Use an emphatic adjective to emphasize. Common adjectives include absolute, definite, clear, great, perfect, true, complete, absolute and so on. For example:

[Note] When very is used as an adjective, it must be used with the, this, that or possessive pronoun. For example:

2. Use adverbs of emphasis or phrases equivalent to adverbs to express emphasis. Common ones are absolute, affirmative, clear, complete, huge, independent, just perfect, true, quit, right, complete, extraordinary, and even so on. For example:

Finally, she went to see the celebrity himself. (JLV。 P. 107) (appositive as an object means emphasis)

She is kind. She is very kind.

4. Use rhetorical questions to express emphasis.

When a question is used as an emphasized statement, it can be called a rhetorical question.
