We can use the auxiliary verb 'do' to add emphasis. For example, Paul said "I do want
to spend some quality time with Jake" to show how strongly he feels about this.
We can also show contrast with 'do'. For example, we can contrast what was expected
with what actually happened by saying, 'The food was cheap as anything but it did
taste fantastic.'
We form this emphasis or contrast with 'do' or 'did'+ base verb. For example, "I do
want to spend some quality time with Jake".
