I Do

Do you?

How do you use ‘do’?

I’ve been wondering about this for a long time. When is it acceptable to use ‘do’?

For example, what’s the difference between: “I appreciate it” and “I do appreciate it”?

Emphasis?

Hmmm…

I’m not sure. Sometimes, it sounds wrong. Sometimes it sounds right. I can’t seem to tell when.

English experts… please help!

  2. Hahah… no lah. I don’t think I will be saying those words in that context any time soon.

    I just want to know when it is right to use ‘do’.
