How Does Grammar: Using 'what' to give emphasis - BBC English Masterclass Work?

"Using what to give emphasis is like shouting your favorite toy’s name so everyone knows it's the best one."

Imagine you're playing with your friends and you have a red ball. You might say, "I have a ball." But if you really love that ball, you could say, "What a ball!" It's like you're pointing at it and saying, "Look! This is amazing!"

When you use what, it’s like giving your sentence an extra hug. You’re not just talking about something, you're showing how special or surprising it is.

For example:

• Regular: I saw a dog.
• With what: "What a dog!", It's like you're amazed by the dog, maybe because it was huge, funny, or super friendly!

So next time you want to sound more excited, just add what before something cool. It’s like using your loudest voice in a game of tag, everyone notices!
