Short answers
• Short answers
• We often answer yes / no questions with
short answers using an auxiliary verb: Can
you come? Yes, I can.
• We repeat the auxiliary verb or modal verb
which we use in the question:
Aren’t you Penny’s brother? Yes, I am.
4
So + neither
• Expressing agreement with so and
neither
• In informal speech, we can use certain
phrases which include so and neither,
usually with do or have, to express
agreement with something said previously.
• We use so + an auxiliary verb to express
agreement with affirmative statements:
 Bill likes it and I also.
 Bill likes it and so do I.
5
Neither
• We use neither + an auxiliary verb to
express agreement with negative
statements:
 She hasn’t got any money and I haven’t.
She hasn’t got any money and neither
have I.

Echo questions
Echo questions
• Short questions in informal conversation
 used to confirm that we have listened to
what the other person has said, or to show
interest in what the other person is saying.
• These echo questions do not need an
answer.
7
Echo questions
• The pattern for using these echo questions is:
• Positive statement – positive echo question
• Negative statement – negative echo question
When the subject of the statement is an object,
animal, etc., we use it in the echo question: ‘This
bike is very expensive?’ ‘Is it?’
When the subject is a group, we use they: ‘United
will win on Saturday.’ ‘Will they?’
8
Echo questions
• After statements without an auxiliary verb
or modal verb, we use do in the echo
question:
‘Mary arrived last night.’ ‘Did she?’
