"Verbless" Modal Helping Verbs in Spanish?
Hello everyone,
Very common in the English language is the short response of "I will" or "They would" to a question. In these examples, the question's verb is omitted from the response in order to avoid repetition; only the subject and modal helping verb are retained. I'm wondering if there is any equivalent to this concept in Spanish.
I can see a response to a question like "¿Harás la comida para nuestra fiesta?" being "Sí, la haré." but is there anything more concise than this? (Like just "Haré")
¡Gracias por sus respuestas!

"La haré" would work but that is still using the verb. I will make/do it. Spanish doesn't have models. So the future tense is needed to express the English concept of "will ...."
