In short answers, instead of just answering yes or no:
• Do you like dogs? • Yes, I do.
To avoid repeating the main verb:
• I like dogs but my sister doesn’t. Use auxiliary verbs To say that something is the same (with so and neither): • I like dogs and so does my brother. • I didn’t watch that film and neither did she.
To show emphasis in affirmative sentences:
• You didn’t lock the door! • I did lock it! Use auxiliary verbs To make echo questions (to show interest or surprise): • I went to a psychic today. • Did you?
• He has an online girlfriend in Korea!
• Does he? Use auxiliary verbs To make question tags: • You like dogs, don’t you? • We didn’t have any homework last class, did we?
