about drug usage in gymglish office :)
in the following exercise, the dialogue is between Monica and Ronald but in the correction it's Harold who have a problem.
So please do not use unauthorized substance before wirting the correction :)
Monica : Thank you for calling Dave's Hardware. This is Monica, may I help you?
Ronald : Why yes, you may (1). I have a bit of a problem.
Monica : You do (2)?
Ronald : I do (3)! I accidentally glued my hand to a power drill*, and I really have to go to the bathroom, but I'm afraid.
Monica : Well, that definitely is a problem.
* A drill is a machine used to puncture holes
(2) You do : This is the best choice here. Monica is expressing her surprise that Harold has a problem. In this case we use the construction for the auxiliary of surprise: subject + auxiliary (you do). Because there is not an auxiliary in the original statement (I have a problem), we must use 'do'.
(3) I do : This is the best choice here. Harold is simply responding to Monica's question 'You do?'. 'Yes or No' responses often follow the format of 'subject' + 'auxiliary' (I + do, in this case), and we always use whichever auxiliary has been used in the original question. If an auxiliary has not been used, we typically use 'do'.
