Hello, Melanie Emotion: smile
"Emphasize" (BrE "emphasise") is a verb; "emphasis" is a noun. The noun is usually followed by the prepositions

I've just seen your post asking for correction.
Your post can be rewritten as:

"What do emphasize and emphasis mean?
These two words are used often but I don't understand them. Can someone (anyone) give me examples and explain what they mean as well? Thanks.

Remember to start your sentences with a capital letter.

Okay, now it make sense. thank you Miriam.

"can someone give me an example and explain what it mean as well."
should the "mean" have an s (means)?

Melanie,
You can ask for
"an example and what it means"
or
"examples (more than one) and what they mean"

In your post, I chose the plural (examples) because you asked about two words, so you would need at least one example of each.

But when you add an s it means plural, then if I use examples then how come the mean has no s. shouldn't it have an s too.

hope you don't mind me asking too many questions.
