Message?

CORRECT!

WRONG!

  • radio_button_unchecked "Were you on time?"
  • radio_button_unchecked "I didn't arrive early, but did you?"
  • check_circle "Were you on time?"
  • brightness_1 "I didn't arrive early, but did you?"
  • brightness_1 "Were you on time?"
  • cancel "I didn't arrive early, but did you?"

ANALYSIS:

The speaker is trying to identify precisely if YOU were early – maybe there was only one person who arrived early, maybe they know everyone else was early but “what about YOU?”. The raised pitch focuses on the subject of the verb, YOU.

    MESSAGE:

    " I didn't arrive early, but did you?"

    ANALYSIS:

    The speaker is focusing on whether the person was early or late, there is some key difference for the context. Perhaps the person might have seen something if they were early. Or, maybe the speaker is interested why they DIDN’T do something because they had time if they were early!
