2019年11月30日 · Question: Do you speak English? Answer 1: Yes Answer 2: Yes, I do Answer 3: Yes, I speak. The answer 1 is clear, nothing to ask about it. It's the same for answer 3. But in the answer 2, why do we add "I do". What is the reason for doing so? What's the meaning of "I do". I wonder if "Yes, I do" expresses "Yes, I speak". Could you please clarify ...

2016年11月18日 · As non-native speaker of English I want to understand which response is correct, given a context. Thank you for two examples. "If your waiter is asking "Do you take cream?" a simple "Yes" is fine." What if I will answer "Yes, I do" in that kind of situation? Is it too "formal"/""posh"? Do you agree that "Yes, I do"/"Yes, I am" is always a safer ...

2016年1月5日 · Instead of Yes, I do want to I could also say. Yes, I do do. which means the same (emphasizing that I do actually want to go). However, this can be problematic, as do do sounds like doodoo, which is a slangy, child directed, or childish synonym of poopoo . So I wouldn't advise saying this unless you and the people you are talking with averse to ...

2017年7月25日 · "Yes, I do!" answers a Do-question. One of those you already mentioned, "Do you love me?" Other questions would include "Do you want to be with me?" and "Do you have feelings for me?"

For the "how much coke do you do", the "yes" can be interpreted as "I do more coke than I'm comfortable admitting".

2022年10月6日 · Yes I do. You won't (will not) be able to see Grandma next week. Yes I will. You can't (cannot/can not) see the sea from here. Yes you can. Your conversation involving don't have/do have sounds American. A British conversation is more likely to be: You haven't (have not) got any money. More formally, we can say 'You haven't (have not) any money ...

Yes, I do live there. However, that may leave your hearer wondering why you employ the auxiliary do , which is ordinarily used either for emphasis or to assert something which has just been denied. HE: You don’t live in New York City.

2016年2月7日 · Yes. Yes, I do. Yes, I have money. Yes, I have five dollars. As Ustanak points out, Yes, I do have money. is grammatically correct, but it is only natural when one wants to make an emphatic response.
