Hi,
another question. I hear people say things like: i did that already. i already did that. which one is correct?

another question. what's the difference between -
i saw it and i did see it.

Thanks

The difference between "I saw it" and "I did see it" is that with the second one, you stress the fact that you actually saw it. -Come on, you can't possibly have seen it! -I did see it - no matter what you believe.
