I had a warm discussion on the web with a folk on the expressions below:
My point is sentence 1,2,3 express the same meaning, while another folk thinks sentence 1 is different or not quite the same from sentence 2 & 3.
So, I hope to get out of the confusion here. Can someone help to weigh in with your thought? Thanks!
It is true that I like it.
This sentence conveys that the speaker is affirmative about liking a thing.
I truly like it.
I really like it
These sentences however, convey an additional emphasis on the liking part.
So, Sentence 1 is different from the others based on emphasizing while the other two sentences are virtually the same
