Grammar
The Beatles song "Love Me Do"
Hello there.
1. I would just like to let me make sure, but the phrase "Love me do" is generally used as a poetic expression, isn't it?
2. Are these expressions "Trust me do", "Review yourself do" etc. used in daily conversations?
3. I know The Beatles have the song "Love Me Do", and the standard order is "Do love me". I assume the reason they exchanged the order was for making a better rhythm than "Do love me" in singing. Do you think the same?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, In better grammar, write it as ' verb me, do'. eg Tell me, do! eg Love me, do!
- Hi, In better grammar, write it as ' verb me, do'.
- eg Tell me, do!
- eg Love me, do!
- I put an exclamation mark because it is in the form of an imperative.
- The 'me' is optonal, depending on the verb.

Hi,
"Tell me, do!"
Does the "do" in the clause mean "just do that"?
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply!
I see why exclamation mark is added and 'me' is optional, depending on the verb.
You haven seen it in only The Beatles' song? That is good to know to me.
I was trying to say as 'Review yourself, do': eg You did something crime, so you must think of what you did. Can I use the word 'reflect' instead of 'review'?
I am glad we have the sam

As a general rule of thumb - no one would ever say "verb me, do" unless it was for poetic reasons. So "Review yourself, do" and "Reflect yourself, do" don't really make sense.
You'd say something like:
"Contemplate your actions" or "Reflect upon what you have done" - you wouldn't really use 'review' in the situation you've mentioned above, either :-)

Hi,
"Tell me, do!"
Does the "do" in the clause mean "just do that"? No. The function of 'do' here is to add emphasis. A more common word order is eg 'You have a secret? Do tell me! Please, please, please!'
