Do / does : emphatic use
We do not normally use do or does in affirmative sentences, but we can use them for emotive or contrastive
emphasis when we feel strongly about something:
She thinks he doesn't love her, but he does love her. He really does!
You do look pretty in that new outfit! Quite stunning!
Are you all right? You do look a bit pale. Do please sit down.
I don't see very much of my old friends now, but I do still email them.
Was that a joke? I do believe you're teasing me!
When we are using the auxiliaries do and does for contrastive or emotive emphasis like this, we give them
extra stress in pronunciation to make them sound louder, longer or higher in tone. When you see these
words in print used in this way, they will normally be in italics or bold type or in CAPITAL LETTERS.
Activity: do / does : emphatic use. Transform the following phrases into emotive or contrastive phrases.
Use do or does to make it.
Example: He works in a restaurant: He DOES work in a restaurant // We don’t work at night: We DO not

3. John reads every night 4. I want to learn English

The In-Laws: are the members of the family of the person you are married to or via a marriage in your family:
Father-in-law Mother-in-law Widow Widower
Note: To refer to more than one brother-in-law or sister-in-law etc. we have an S to the brother/sister part.
E.g.
My brothers-in-law are fun. My sisters-in-laws are crazy.
The Family Mix: In this time in many countries a person can get married more than once. These are the terms
used to describe the "new" members of the family when someone gets remarried. "Step-" means that you are
related as a result of one parent marrying again:
