Emphatic Do
Do is usually used as an auxiliary in negative and question forms of the simple present and past tense.
However, the auxiliary do can also be used before the infinitive in affirmative sentences to add special emphasis.
I do enjoy his company.
He does like to talk.
We can also use emphatic do to show a contrast between expectations and reality.
A: You didn’t call me yesterday. B: I did call you yesterday.
We usually get along very well, but we do have arguments occasionally.
Note: Emphatic do is strongly emphasized in speech.
