English verbs are very easy to understand if we know that every verb has "do".
-
This is similar to Math where every number equals 1 times itself.
-
5 is equal to 1 times 5.
-
This is true of every number.
-
The 1 is there whether we write it or not.
-
Sometimes we write the 1; sometimes we do not.
-
It all depends on the situation.
-
In English, every verb has a "do" just how every number has a 1.
-
Sometimes we use the "do"
-
other times we do not.
-
"Eat", for example, is the same as " do eat".
-
Sometimes we can say, "eat."
-
Sometimes we can say, "do eat."
-
"Do not eat" already has the "do".
-
Technically, we don't add the word "do" when we say, "do not eat."
-
"Do" is already there.
-
The only word we add is "not".
-
Of course, this is because "not" requires the "do".
-
So, we have the choice "eat" or "do eat",
-
but to say, "not," we can only say, "do not eat."
-
As a question, "Do you eat?"
-
The sentence would be "You do eat," or "I do eat."
-
But, we reverse the "do" and the "you" so that they can become a question.
-
The "do" is already there,
-
we just don't use it in most statements.
-
But, the question requires it.
-
"Yes, I eat," or "I do eat."
-
Or, "No, I do not eat."
-
Of course, I'm not sure how long you'd live.
-
"I like this."
-
"I do like this!"
-
We will use the word "do" for emphasis.
-
This means that "I like this very much!"
-
The "do" is already there in both situations.
-
But, when we say it, it adds emphasis because, with English, more words
-
— one way or another — is more serious.
-
Similarly, with the past tense, "did eat" is the same as "ate".
-
When you're studying verbs, do not study words to think of "present" tense and "past" tense.
-
Do not think "eat" is "present" tense and "ate" is "past" tense.
-
Rather, think "did eat" is the same as "ate".
-
What is "ate"?
-
It's "did eat".
-
It's easier to see this connection if we use a regular verb that adds "-ed" at the end.
-
"Did walk" is equal to "walked".
-
The "d" is there at the end of "walked".
-
That "d" actually came from "did".
-
The "-ed" at the end of "walked" is the "did".
-
"Walked" is "did" and "walk" together.
-
Now, you can understand how every verb has "do".
-
Your English will be much easier.
-
I "do" hope so. ;-)
