'No, it's really dangerous.'
spoken used to say that you agree with a negative statement:
A : 'They shouldn't drive so fast.'
B : 'No, it's really dangerous.'
I found this dialogue in a dictionary and I was wondering if the B's reply is fine to use? I have learned that negative sentences or phrases should follow 'No' or can we say that 'they should not' is omitted in spoken English?
Thank you so much and have a good day.
