I have got a problem with the following sentence : ' We did buy you a case of wine...'. I don't understand the use of DID in this case. Why not : We bought you a case ...
"do" or "did" is used before a verb in order to insist or emphasize. In your example, it seems the wine was actually excellent. So much that they couldn't help but buy not only a bottle but a whole case of it. But warning! I do say : "do be careful not to drink too much for your head might be spinning" JP
