Do I have to finish the work before dinner?

Question

Do I have to finish the work before dinner?

How do I answer this question? Should I say "Yes, you do." or "Yes, you have to." or "Yes, you need."?

Which is the best answer? Are the three answers OK? Thank you!

Yes, you have (to).

Clive · Answer

Hi,

I'd most likely say 'Yes, you do'.

Thanks! But are the other two sentences incorrect? Or simply people don't say it that way?

Hi all

I would say that do-questions are answered with do or don't:

Do you speak English? - Yes, I do.
Does he understand it? - No, he doesn't.
Do I look good enough? - Yes, you do. (Not: Yes, you look.)
Do I have to finish the work before dinner? - Yes, you do.

Since we are dealing with English, anything is of course possible in practice and if Marius says yes, you haveis also used, I believe him.
