Grammar brush up: Short answers

You’ve surely found the way English people speak a bit confusing, haven’t you ? 🙂

Welcome to a brush up exercise on short answers. This style of speaking is typical of natural English and it can be a bit mind boggling for learners. 

Also it’s a great way to revise  auxiliary verbs, which will help you formulate tag questions too.

Take a listen and see if you can answer as quickly as Chris. 

LEARNING TIP: 

1. Listen several times.
2. Write down the conversation, underline the auxiliary verb in the first sentence.
3. Write down your answer.
4. Listen again and answer quickly
