Rh The subject of the verb used in reply need not be expressed, except when it is contained in the verb ending. In English we frequently use a double reply, as “Yes, I will.” “No, I was not,” &c. In Irish we use only one reply.

(b) When the question has been asked with any part of the verb, expressed or understood, followed by a definite noun, the English subject must be used in the answer, as also must the verb, except when the answer is negative.
