18. Small Talk Rule:
In a conversation, when we are asked a question, we usually don’t just answer.
We also offer extra information or return a question. We call this answer + (answer plus).
For example:
“Have you had a class in this building before?”
“No I haven’t. So I was nervous I wouldn’t be able to find the right room.”
