Using 'Do' to Emphasize Correction or Disagreement

One way to emphasize a correction or disagreement in English is by using the word 'do.' This is particularly useful when you want to emphasize your stance on something. For example, if someone assumes you don't like a certain food, you can assert, 'No, I do like that.' By adding 'do,' you bring emphasis and clarity to your statement, creating a more engaging conversation where you can share your personality.
