چه زمان‌هایی کلمات را در جملات انگلیسی حذف می‌کنیم؟

حین صحبت کردن درصورتی‌که به معنی جمله لطمه‌ای وارد نشود، می‌توانیم کلمات را حذف کنیم. برای مثال، می‌توانیم از هرکدام از جملات زیر برای تعارف قهوه استفاده کنیم:

Would you like a cup of coffee? You like a cup of coffee? Like a cup of coffee? A cup of coffee? Cup of coffee? Coffee?

و شخص مقابل می‌تواند پاسخ دهد:

Yes, please. I would like a cup. Yes, please. I would. Yes, please. Please.

• اغلب به این منظور که از تکرار غیرضروری جلوگیری کنیم، کلمات را حذف می‌کنیم.

برای مثال:

I asked him to come but he wouldn’t come. Jack can come but Jill can’t come. He didn’t come even though she asked him to come. Jack wanted to come but Jill didn’t want to come.

He opened the door and he went in. They play billiards but they do not play snooker. I know George but I do not know his brother. She likes Indian food but she does not like Chinese food.
