Find the part named after Emphasise, then move it to the end. Build the first part with What + subject + verb, followed by is or was and the information you want to highlight. It starts with what, but it isn't a question 😅 Keep statement order, not What do…?

The focus can be a thing, an activity or a whole idea. If it has its own subject and verb, that can introduce it. Keep the rest of the meaning intact, but do not leave a second copy of the focused object inside the what-clause.

Quick Rule

What + subject + verb + be + focused object, activity or clause

1.What Maya needs is a quiet room.
2.What the children chose was walking home.
3.What I realised was that the door was still open.
