Grammar
Would/ would like to
Hello, teachers.
A question:
1 ---Would you like black coffee? ----Yes. I WOULD.
2 ---Would you like something to drink? ----Yes, I'd like to.
I know the two above are correct. But I just wonder whether we can answer the question 2 this way: Yes, I WOULD! , in order to emphasize it.
Thank you for your kind help.

Hi,
A question:
1 ---Would you like black coffee? ----Yes. I WOULD. Yes. In many situations, you can emphasize 'would'.
2 ---Would you like something to drink? ----Yes, I'd like to. Not correct. The normal answer is'Yes, I would'.

I thought using "would" in such sentences was odd. It gives me the impression you are not really accepting the offering, but replying as if you were considering a hypothetical situation.
Would you like some strawberries? - Yes, I would, if I wasn't allergic to them.
When accepting an offering, I would avoid the tag, and just say "Yes (Please/Thank you)".
But if it's l

Hi Kooyeen,
'Yes, I would, please' is not unusual or odd. It's just a 'distanced' form of politeness. Don't forget the original offer also used the same 'would'.
It sometimes shows a little more emphasis or enthusiasm.
But we often just say ' Yes, please'.

Thank you very much, Clive. Thank you all.
We should pay attention to not only grammar but also usage.

Hi,
How about this:
---Would you like to go with us? ----Yes, I'd like to. This is fine, too. The repeating of 'like' makes it a little more emphatic.
But I'd say 'Yes, I would' is much more common.
