Dear Frances.
Quote:
I don't agree that the DID is there purely for emphasis. The original sentence cannot be written with the DID simply omitted.
The sentence could also be rewritten in the following order:
Until he arrived home, he did not find he'd left it in the restaurant.
Here it is clear that the DID is required because of the NOT.
