Online Lesson 10

In the previous lesson we learned how to use the helping verb DO to avoid REPETITION.

In this lesson we will learn how to use DO to emphasize what you are saying.

 

The verb DO as a helping verb

Quick note:

In the simple present tense the verb DO has these two forms:

  • I, you, we, they => do

  • She, he, it => does

We will use these forms in our examples and exercises.

5. Emphasis

You can use the helping verb DO to emphasize what you are saying. The helping verb DO can make your statements stronger.

 

Here is how:

Subject + DO + verb + the rest of the sentence

Example:

I do believe you!

Meaning: I really believe you.

 

Here are some more examples:

They do love each other.
