Use of 'do' in affirmative sentences
What is the difference in the use of
"If you do object to this visit..."
and
"If you object to this visit..."
In particular, in which cases do we use 'do' in affirmative sentences ? Is it to emphasize the considered action (here 'to object') ? Or is it simply recorded as a special use of the verb 'to do', i.e. 'to do object'.
Thank you very much.
Best,
Jack
