Hi,
Many a time I have noticed a sentence containing "supernumerary" DO and I would like to know why it sometimes is used because it is quite clear the sentence containing this "do-thing" can do without it. As far as I know, it was used in an archaic English, but one can meet it in modern literature.
He did go home. I do understand. She does work there. Etc.
Thanks if a good soul try to help.
