So X said to Y:
I did tell you yesterday!
As far as I know, the word did there is to emphasize my point or tell him that I'm so sure I've told him the story yesterday. What I want to ask is, what's the word we may use to emphasize our point like that in a sentence with no verb? Like
You ARE the one who breaks it!
For emphasis, I capitalized the ARE, but is there any word that functions like did does in the previous sentence?
Answer
- Valery, verily I say unto you, you are indeed the messiah sent unto the world!
- Celery is indeed the food to eat to lose weight.
- I am indeed the one who killed her.
- You are truly a genius beyond normal proportions! Who would have thought of that?
- Veerasamy is verily a man of great faith.
- You are an absolute genius. How may I worship you?
- Laleetha and Gopisamee are true lovers of the divine kind.
- I have no freakin idea what you are talking about.
Verily is archaic use, and thus may be used in jest or sarcasm.
