¿Auxiliar does en afirmativo en presente simple?
Hello I would like to know when use it? Me gusraría que me dieran algunos ejemplos o explicación, se los agradecería mucho. I found this sentence:
She does have a bit of....
But I just know It is use in negative and interrogative sentences.
- She has a doggy.
- She doesn't have a doggy.
Does she have a doggy?
She watches Tv.
- She doesn't watch Tv.
- Does she watch Tv?
Why "does" is used in affirmative?
Is the first time I see this.
Por favor si tengo algún error en los ejemplos me gustaría que me corrijieran. Saludos.

Tus ejemplos están bien salvo la pregunta que sigue, pues debería ser "Why is "does" used in affirmative?
Usar "does" en al afirmativo es lo mismo que decir "Ella sí tiene un poco de .........."
Usually if you see "do" or "does" in the affirmative it is, as Julian points out, for emphasis.
He snores
becomes
He does snore!
I know the way
becomes
I do know the way!
and so on
It seems you probably know this, but, anyway...
Remember the 3rd person "s" in the affirmative.
Example:
What languages does he speak?
He speaks English Spanish and Catalan -------------->"s" added to the verb
He doesn't speak Catalan very well.
Add the "S" to the verb in the affirmative only
Where does he live?
He lives in Barcelona.
He doesn't live in London anymore.
