I heard some sentences with this form from English speakers: "what I do know is that..." or  " We do share the same..." The question is: what is the applicant of do in these sentences? Why they use it before main verbs?

When I have to use information and performance I'm always confused.  However, I'm asking whether when I'm referring to more than one piece of information of performance I should use "information/performance is" or "information/performance are."

I'm a non native speaker of English. In our learning we were told that when we say hello to someone we use equivalent phrase:      How do you do?   In response we do say:     How do you do?   But I'm unsure about the usage in the USA or UK. I haven't heard from them. I'm an Indian.  Is this the correct way of introducing someone?

Can you please help me better explain the structure below to my student?  "Does beauty has standards?"  Isn't the rule that the second verb (have) goes in the infinitive form in questions with do/does?  She understands the agreement in the structure "Beauty has standards" and is trying to apply it in the question form.

To me the expression     Let's simply share   seems wrong.  I've always thought the adverb should come after the verb. Is that correct?

Possible Duplicate:          How can I be sure when to use 'all that' or 'all what' in making sentences. Is there any differences in their meaning. I've tried googling but the results just didn't match. For instance:      All that the president said was published in the dailies.    or     All what the president said was published in the dailies.

In the US, when people work together, they may look for a colleague or any person to say something or for any other reason, asking colleagues or other people this type of question:         Have you seen Michael?   (OR)        Did you see Michael?          Which is considered right if the question refers to an activity (in our case "see") during the day and not in the past in general?

I want to describe my business and want to refer to it in a sentence.  I am trying to say:      "In 2015 we established a business (that is) named X".   Intuitively, the "that is" part is redundant, and makes the sentence more cumbersome. But I cannot think of a reason why we should be able to drop the verb.  Is the version without the "that is" part grammatically correct? How can it be explained?

My friend and I got into an argument about English grammar, so I was hoping maybe you could help us out. Okay so we want to know if the following part of the sentence is correct, "People who are satisfied and feel self-fulfilled like I" rather than "People who are satisfied and feel self-fulfilled like me". I have already provided many sources to my friend showing that the first way is a formal and a grammatically correct way, however he wants an answer with this specific part of the sentence.   Please help us out  Thank you

Is it grammatically correct to use the word "do" twice in a row? Examples: We do do what you are talking about. instead of... We do what you are talking about.  or  Our process does do what you are talking about. instead of... Our process does what you are talking about.  Is the meaning any different?

I was listening to Eminem's song Stan. I noticed in one verse he says:        But she don't know you like I know you Slim...      At first I didn't believe my ears, but when I read out the lyrics I got astonished. I further searched on Google and found on some other forums that this type of incorrect grammatical usage is either intentional (for some linguistic reasons) or the speaker is uneducated!       So my question is:      What is the purpose of this type of intentional misuse of grammar? How does it appear to native English speakers?      Thank you.

I'm reading a book, and I found a sentence where I don't understand the grammar. It seems as the writer wants to write a statement, but uses the structure of a question. The sentence is highlighted in the following paragraph:     In the first ten paragraphs, he touted his engineering skills, including his ability to design bridges, waterways, cannons, armored vehicles, and public buildings. Only in the eleventh paragraph, at the end, did he add that he was also an artist. "Likewise in painting, I can do everything possible," he wrote.      Isaacson, Walter. (2017) Leonardo da Vinci.   Shouldn't that sentence start with "he added" instead of "did he add" since it's not a question? If it's correct, is it something people usually use when they speak, or is it more like something you would find in books?

I know 'Did' is the past tense of 'Do' and if we want to  ask question in present tense 'Do you come?' and in past tense it is 'Did you come?'. Why don't we use 'Did you came?' as came is the past tense of come?
