r/EnglishLearning on Reddit: Why do people answer only “yes” to a question stating with “how” like an example below?
July 21, 2023 -

Example : “How many times have I watched this video?” “Yes.”

Edit:

I always see the sentences like the example sentence on social media these days so I thought it was like a meme, also I guessed it was a funny things. But some people say that it’s not hilarious at all…😂

Also, I could know it’s too casual to use in a formal situation and we can use the way of answering for “or” questions too.

Thanks for all of your help!!
