Thanks for the comment! We use "I DO love you" to give more emphasis to love. In grammar terminology it is called "emphatic do".

For example:

Mary: John you don't love me anymore.

John: That's not true Mary! I do love you.

@2010bettyrodriguez Good question! It's called "emphatic do". We use it to give more emphasis to a sentence:

Mary: John you don't love me anymore

John: No Mary I DO love you. ( I really love and you are wrong to say I don't love you)

I hope this helps!

Regards,

Steve

In England we used to say: YOU GOT TO GO NOW when speaking fast.

But that's what Steve mentionned above:

YOU'VE GOT TO GO NOW.

But I've never heard DO YOU GOT? Sounds very awkward to me, or maybe too slangish. You'd better avoid saying that when tested in English.

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

@ModeloMenina That's the important thing to point out. That 'Do you got' can be heard in American slang or even overall relaxed speaking. The important thing is to know what is used informally and what is correct grammatically.

@werminy Without a doubt the influence of American English on the British is incredible! For sure these two traditionally British and American structures are starting to mix. When I saw Prince William in a recent TV interview, I nearly fell off my chair when he said 'gonna'. So here is another prime example of how 'gonna' went mainstream. You might find some Americans who use 'have you got' but I don't think it would make much difference in terms of level of formality in American society.

@PrivateEnglishPortal Hi, Steve,

I think both expressions are used in both British and American English. Would you say that another difference (apart from the ones you explain) is that "Do you have..." is more polite or formal than "Have you got..." Do you agree?
