Responder afirmando y negando en Presente Simple

Cuando una pregunta comienza con un auxiliar (DO – DOES en presente simple, DID en pasado simple) la respuesta es por sí o por no. En este caso se usan las respuestas cortas

Do you like chocolate? Yes, I do. Does he like English? No, he doesn’t. Did she buy a new car? Yes, she did.

En el caso del verbo TO BE, si la pregunta comienza con IS o ARE, también hay que responder por sí o por no:

Are you happy? Yes, I am. Is your brother a lawyer? No, he isn’t. He is an accountant. (Acá puedo aclarar aunque no me

lo pida.)

Con respecto a have / have got, en el ejemplo que me diste, no se debe repetir el sujeto. IT reemplaza al sujeto OFFICE. Se pone uno u otro.

The office has got a lot of plants. It doesn’t have a window.
