What is the difference between "I want" and "I do want"? [closed]
Solution 1:
There are two (at least) contexts for the emphatic do:
To counter the mistaken notion that do not applies:
You don't seem to want to see this film.
--I do want to see it, just not tonight.
To apprise the listener to take special notice of what is being said:
I do want to inform you, bears have been seen near this campground.
