"Do" is used when we talk about things in general, when we do not specify the activity. In this sense, it is used a lot with indefinite pronouns like "something", "anything", "nothing", etc.

"Do" is used for actions, activities and jobs. It is used in a broad sense, as "to perform". In general, these actions and activities do not produce a physical object.

EXAMPLE:

We do come to school by bus.
