Hello everybody
I always read sentences which cofused me and i searched for the answer
but I didn't find anything
I love it / I do love it
I like it / I do like it
I live there / I do live there
I have a mobile / I do have a mobile
she feels it / she does feel it
what's the difference between them ?
when should I add do ?
and when should I remove it ?
why they add do/does before the verb ?
DO simply adds emphasis, either for its own sake: I do love Theresa,
or to contradict/correct.:
A: Surely you don't live in Durham?
B: I do live in Durham.
I speech, DO is stressed.
Do you know the word "emphatic"? Or what it means to "add emphasis"?
I live here -- This is a simple statement.
I do live here! -- This is an emphatic statement. Perhaps someone has suggested (or even insisted) that you do not live here. You want to be very clear that you do.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
