 2) I watched TV
Per dire cosa?
"I did watch TV" va bene se metti l'enfasi su "did" e vuoi correggere
qualcuno che ha
appena affermato che non hai guardato la TV, o se dici qualcosa del
tipo
"I did watch TV as a child, but only because I was chained in front of
one with my eyes
held open with matchsticks."

 scorretta
"I did watch TV" non e' sbagliato di per se', ma probabilmente non e'
quello che vuoi dire.
Lo stesso vale per "I was saved by death".

 dire -pure io-??
(thank God you didn't write an essay this time)
"I do" doesn't mean "pure io". Compare:
- Who walks the dog in your family?
- I do
- I always walk the dog right before he starts pooping around.
- Me too/ So do I.
In genere nelle grammatiche ti fanno usare la seconda versione, perché 
così ti eserciti un po' sui verbi ausiliari.

If there is, I've never noticed it.

 in affermative sentences?
Not quite sure what you are driving at but do these qualify as a 
counterexamples?
 But I *didn't* break the dishes!
 But I *haven't* eaten my greens!

PS: "affirmative"

 PS: "affirmative"
Ooops!

 say anything about it being used just in affirmative clauses,
Ok, I got a bit carried away. "it" = that type of emphasis.

 Ok, I got a bit carried away. "it" = that type of emphasis.
"Who does take the dog for a walk?" needs emphasis on the "does"  to
sound possible. So we need to
imagine a case like:
"Ok class. One at a time, do you take your dog for a walk?"
"I don't."
"Neither do I."
"I don't either."
"Not me"
[...]
"Uh. Ok. Who _does_ take their dog for a walk?"

 I always walk with the dog on the right, before it starts poping around
Please stop modifying Enrico's sentences. He's rarely wrong (when he 
doesn't try to sound American).
"Right before" is similar to "just before" and means something like 
"appena prima".

 after did. Is it correct? :-?
- Yesterday I ran into Steven.
- Who/whom did you run into?
- S T E V E N!

 sure, and I think it's a goog thing
So why shouldn't it be the same in English?

 sound possible. [...]
Ok, thanks for answering. While I had some vague memories about that
usage, I couldn't find confirmation anywhere. Actually, Google does have
quite a few entries for "who did tell", but not all sources are always
reliable, are they?
