What do progressive verb and emphatic verb mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A progressive verb indicates that something's happening, was happening, or will be happening. An emphatic verb is used to give emphasis to something.

\(\huge\color{red}{Did}\) \(\huge\color{black}{you}\) \(\huge\color{red}{go}\) \(\huge\color{black}{to}\) \(\huge\color{black}{the}\) \(\huge\color{black}{swim}\) \(\huge\color{black}{meet?}\)

Can you explain based on this example please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(did go underlined)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did and go are progressive verbs because they indicate something that is happening. hope that helps!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I see so it's progressive, can you give me a different example of emphatic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My bad. "go" is a progressive verb and "did" is an emphatic verb. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, so it would be progressive because go is the main verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
