Question about "do" before verb
Hi all,
I have a question about the use of "do" before verb, where and why?
For example, I do hope everything goes well.
Although we have "hope" here as a verb, we used "do" before it. What is the role of "do" here and when we usually use of this?
Thank you.

arman665Can we use of this (do) wherever we want or there are a lot of exceptions?You'd do better not to use it at all except if you want to try imitating the very few expressions with it that native speakers use, and even then you can leave out the "do".
I (do) hope [they'll be on time / she'll be better soon / that's all right with you / ...]
