confusing states in english tongue some times i hear or i`d better say i see there are some weird sentences , and i don`t know what`s the difference between them - for instance i see some English sentences like this one ; .......... then you do have a lot of problems in your life and you are putting carts before the house....... as you see in the sentence above ''do'' is placed before ''have'' , why shall we use or place '' do '' before ''have'' in this sentence ? and what`s the difference between this sentence and the other one in which ''do'' is not placed before ''have'' ? yours sincerely hassan

though seemingly this "do" shouldn't combine with a verb. it serves as a function of emphasis. here it puts emphasis on the fact that "you have a lot of problems", with some blaming tones.
