Grammar rule

The five points of unit 7

Lesson	Point	Example
31	so and not for a whole answer	"Will the store have it?" "I believe so." "Is it expensive?" "I hope not."
32	leaving words out after a helping verb or to	I haven't tried the new café yet, but my roommate has. "Want to come?" "I'd love to."
33	emphatic do, does, did + base verb	I did water the plants! He does listen, really.
34	whatever, whoever, wherever, whenever, however	Invite whoever you like. Wherever we go, our dog comes too.
35	much / far / a lot, slightly / a bit + comparative; nowhere near as … as	This chair is far more comfortable. The movie was nowhere near as long as I expected.

Five things to watch: I hope not and I'm afraid not, never I don't hope so; the helping verb at the end matches the first idea and is never shortened (I have, not I've); after do, the base verb (did call); after an -ever word, normal word order and no will; no very before a comparative, and as … as after nowhere near.
