Need help

Hi, askik3140, and welcome to the G.E,

@ashik3140 posted:

(a) I do like gardening.

(b) I like gardening.

Which sentence is correct?
What is the difference between the two sentences?

thanks

Both have the same meaning, but 'a' is more emphatic.

Hello, Ashik, and welcome to the Grammar Exchange.

I agree with Ahmed that "I do like gardening" is more emphatic than "I like gardening." The sentence with "do like" would also take a special context.

Normally, to be emphatic, we would add "really" or "very much": "I really/very much like gardening." We'd use "do like" to, for example, make a correction:

A: I thought you didn't like gardening.
B: No. I do like gardening.

I invite you to review our Guidelines page, Ashik. It will teach you how to decide upon a proper title for a thread. "Need help" is not a grammar topic.

thanks all of you friends
