About This Resource
This B1–B2 resource develops emphatic auxiliary use for correction, contrast, reassurance, and insistence. It shows when to add do/does/did to an affirmative clause and when to emphasize an auxiliary that is already present without changing the underlying tense.
What You’ll Learn
• Use emphatic do/does/did in affirmative present and past simple clauses.

• Maintain the original tense and base-verb form after emphatic do.
• Use auxiliary emphasis for correction, contrast, reassurance, or insistence.
