أستعمال الاجابات المختصرة فى الـ Dialogue
Using short answers in conversation
a) When 'we answer questions with, ('Yes' or 'No',, we usually add an auxiliary verb: (Yes, 1 am / she does/we can / …….). It is impolite to say just 'Yes`or 'No'.
- Are you working tomorrow? - Yes, 1 am.
- Can you ride a camel? - No, I can't.
- Does he speak Spanish? - Yes, he does. / No, he doesn't
- Did he live in Spain? - He did, but he doesn't now.
b) We use the short form with 'so' and 'neither' to agree with the speaker:
- A: I'm playing tennis tomorrow.
- B: Oh, so am I.
- A: Ahmed is a fan of El-Ahli.
- B: So are Tarner and Ali.
- A: Dina loves singing.,
B: So.does Heba.
- A: Reharn went to the USA last year,
- B: So did Salwa.
- A: I don't like science fiction.
- B: Neither do 1.
- A: Shadi won't pass his Maths exam.
- B: Neither will Hadi.
* يلاحظ استخدام so فى حالة الموافقة على جمله مثبته.
* واستخدام neither فى الموفقة على جملة منفية.
* بعد so و neither نلاحظ أن الفعل المساعد يأتى قبل الفاعل.
* نستخدم نفس الفعل المساعد الموجود بالجملة الأولى، أو فعل to do فى حالة الأفعال فى زمن المضارع أو الماضى البسيط.
