| Mar 2, 2014 at 21:18 | comment | added | John Lawler | The second sentence is actually ambiguous between two different parses: one in which does is emphatic and work is a verb (like It does run), and another in which does means 'performs' and work is a noun object (like It does the job). But since they mean the same thing, it hardly matters. | |
