    Verbe/ do
    Message de yaya18 posté le 21-11-2014 à 19:29:56 (S | E | F)
    Hello everybody,

    I've recently seen something which trouble seems strange to me..."I do apologise"
    - Why is 'do' placed between "I" and "apologise" ?
    - Is there a difference among "I do apologise" and "I apologise" ?
    - Can I do it with other verbs "I do eat" "I do play" and so on ...
    - Isn't there a form which is used more than the other one ?
    If someone can help me, it will be very nice (Maybe the question is stupid and sorry for that but i really don't get it)
    Have a nice evening !

    Hello !
    The question isn't stupid at all ... but the answer is quite simple.
    DO isn't a verb; but an auxiliary which is used to insist on an action. You can use it with every verb ... I do work = Je travaille vraiment !
    I do help you ! = je t'aide vraiment.
    I do work, but I play quite often !
    or I work, but I do play sometimes ...

    Cherchez 'forme emphatique' dans le rectangle jaune, en haut, à droite !

    Bon courage !

    Hello,
    comme vous l'aurez compris suite aux deux messages précédents, on utilise do et did en forme d'insistance (emphatique)mais uniquement en forme affirmative:
    Do sit down! Asseyez-vous donc!
    Do help yourself: Mais servez-vous, je vous en prie.
    I do love you, whatever you might think: Mais je t'aime vraiment, quoi que tu en dises!
    I did see a ghost: she was wearing violets in her hair and pursuing me with a great big knife saying "I am here for you" (cauchemar récent) Je vous assure que j'ai vu un fantôme!

    En forme négative, ça ne marche pas, il faut faire autrement;
    I definitely didn't cook your cat!
    I absolutely don't agree with you.
