Grammar Extras #1 - "Ja, det er jeg", "Ja, det gjør jeg" - shortcut responses!

In this episode we're starting a new little series about small bits of helpful and useful expressions, that are common in everyday speech. And a very helpful way of not repeating the whole phrase in a reponse to a question, we often say f.ex. "Yes, I can" or "Yes, I do". Ex: Kan du sykle? Ja, det kan jeg. Vil du spise? Ja, det vil jeg. Sykler du til jobben? Ja det gjør jeg. The rule is this: kan, vil, skal, må + er/har in the question => repeat the verb in the response. All others verbs as question => put "gjør" in the response. Fill-ins: Er du glad i dag? Ja, det ... jeg. Kan du spille gitar? Ja, det ... jeg. Drikker du kaffe? Ja, det ... jeg. .. Great! Well done :)) 😊
