Hi, HipHopAnonymous.
Welcome to JF!

C: "Did you go to the STORE?"
-With the word "store" emphasized, you imply that you are in some way surprised that the listener went to the store. Maybe you told him/her not to, and he/she did anyway. Perhaps you are upset that this person went to the store without you because he/she knew it was your favorite store. In the English speaker's mind, this sentence may translate as. -"How could you go to the store without me? you know it's my favorite store." or even "You went to the store and you know you were not supposed to go there."

I thought that it was “Did you go to
the store?”
If you emphasized
the store, what would you imply?
If you don’t want to imply anything, how would you say?
Thank you.
