Is there an alternative for 'improve'? Like 'give emphasis on your upper cut? Doesit sound natural and correct?    WesternAmerican Joined on Wed, Jun 6 2007 Israel Full Member (393) I will REALLY appreciate any corrections to my posts, whether it be grammar, glossary, or just something that could elevate my style. Thank you.

Give emphasis to does not sound natural.)    Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (15,625) Barbara, who answers in American English.
