Thank you so much!
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.  |
In conversation, putting voice inflection on "the store" would sound unnatural. If I use my voice to inflect "store" I would imply that I was surprised you went to the store. If you don't want to imply anything, and you are merely curious to know if this person went to the store or not. You would not infelct your voice very much at all when asking the question. Just say it in a pleaseant tone with no inflection in your voice and you will get a pleasant, "yes" or "no" response. Hope this helps!
