What is one thing you can do to change the emphasis of a sentence?

One way to change the emphasis of a sentence is to change the position of the words.

Here's how it works:

* Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order: This is the most common order in English, and it places the emphasis on the subject. For example, "The dog chased the cat."

* Object-Verb-Subject (OVS) order: This order shifts the emphasis to the object. For example, "The cat was chased by the dog."

* Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) order: This order can be used for dramatic effect, placing the emphasis on the action. For example, "Ran the dog after the cat."

By moving the words around, you can draw attention to different elements of the sentence and change the overall meaning and emphasis.
