"She said that he was a big, fat jerk!" What did she tell you? - This emphasizes the meaning of what she said. "Well, it was clear after talking to her that she doesn't like him very much." But really, you could get the same information in response to either question. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,506 Barbara, who answers in American English.
