hello again today we’re answering the
question why do people sometimes say I
do want to do something or I do like
this I do love you yeah it’s kind of
weird let’s look at an example
the short answer the reason people put
do in a sentence is for emphasis a
normal sentence might be like this for
example I’m a fish this is a contracted
form what is the uncontracted form I am
a fish that’s obvious in English
contractions are more common they sound
more natural they’re better just
contractions are better in a normal
sentence but if you’re trying to deny
what someone says or go against what
someone says for example I’m a fish
you’re not a fish I am a fish when
someone says you’re not the thing and
you want to argue with them make it
stronger you emphasize you emphasize
that verb I am a fish I think weird
examples I know I’m sorry why am i doing
a fish but it’s the same feeling for the
verb do let me give you an example if a
guy wants to say to a girl something
like I love you that’s a normal sentence
right I love you
normal but maybe she doubts this and she
wants to argue against it
you don’t love me she’s saying a
negative you don’t love me but he wants
to argue against the negative I do love
you
he used the do to argue against the
don’t it’s adding stress adding emphasis
adding strength to your sentence so the
whole thing would sound like I love you
you don’t love me I do love
in another example if an angry
girlfriend or boyfriend wants to say hmm
you didn’t call me yesterday again
there’s the negative you didn’t call me
a normal sentence would be I called you
last night but he’s arguing against her
accusation of not calling her so he
could say I did call you she thinks he
didn’t call her he wants to say no
that’s wrong I did call you so is this
the only way you can use this to argue
against a negative No let me give you
another example so normal sentence you
could say I have a girlfriend I have a
boyfriend whatever but again this style
adds emphasis and strength to your
sentence in a certain way you could use
it to go against an expectation so he
could say well I’m not good-looking you
might be thinking okay so you don’t have
a girlfriend
wow that’s mean but then he’s thinking
hmm if I say I’m not good-looking you
think I don’t have a girlfriend but
you’re wrong I’m not good-looking but I
do have a girlfriend so in this case it
would be going against the expectation
okay try a sentence with this in the
comments below see you next time bye
