Dear Grammar GeekIs:

Can "I do not live" speak "I live not"?

If simple present is "I live", Why, It is not "I live not"? Why, simple present is "I do not live"?

I live= I live not

I do live= I do not live= Do I live?

Dear Grammar GeekIs:

Do you understand "Yes and no" of the answers from Mister Micawber?

But "I do" equal "I do do" also?
And "I do not" equal "I do not do" also?-- Yes and no. The second is called the 'emphatic' form of the present simple.
