| 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.

| Can I asked this: The refugees continued to feel unsafe until they had crossed the border. So how can we rewrite it with "Not until"? |

| Not until the refugees had crossed the border did they (finally) feel safe / did they stop feeling unsafe. (that changes the sentence a bit, I reckon. But the meaning stays the same.). bianca Last edited by bianca; 21-May-2007 at 18:38. |

| When a sentence starts with "Not Until, Never, Rarely.... and other "negative" words" their is always an auxiliary verb after it. For instance, Never DID I know how good she was. |
