2. Emphatic Forms of the Verb
The emphatic forms of a verb are often used
to give greater emphasis to the idea
expressed by the verb. The auxiliaries do,
does and did are used to give this additional
emphasis. The emphatic forms are used in
only two tenses, the present tense and
the past tense.

 You do call
 She, he, it does call
 We do call
 They do call
