To emphasize our attitude we may use "do" - "I do agree." Is it propper to use "do" if it os followed by "am", "is" or "are" ?
„ Are you happy? Yes, I am.”
Can we say: „I do am happy!” If not, why and what is a propper way to emphasize it like in „ I do agree”?
@Guru das,
I do am happy is wrong.
If you want to emphasise your happiness, I would suggest something like :
I am really happy.
Or...
I am very happy.
It's emphasising the verb to agree. eg. "I do agree"
It's not emphasising the verb to be. e.g. "I am....". So you wouldn't use "do" here.
@Guru das,
Yes Guru, I'm happy. I do strive for happiness. I'm happy,
yes. I'm indeed happy. I'm
so happy. I
am happy, I
do feel happy, I
do. I do happiness.
