Lesson C: Ready?
Conversation strategy: Speaking in shorter sentences
Ready? Want to get something to eat?
Love to. Almost ready
People often leave out words (when speaking informal) like I or
you, and verbs like do, be, and have. They do that either to
avoid repetition or when it is implied or clear who or what they are
talking about.

1. (Do you) Want some help?
2. (Are you) Ready?
3. (I) Just broke a nail
