Frequency adverbs
Hi
In an "ever" question, such as "Do you ever go to school?" frequency adverbs are often used in the reply "Yes, I always do."
Can this short form reply with the frequency adverb be used with "Do" or "Are" questions?
e.g.
Do you sometimes feed the fish? Yes, I sometimes do.
Are you often happy? Yes, I often am.
I am hearing them a lot, but they do not seem correct to me.
