my mother did

[Will17]

Hello everyone,

I need your help on this one, please.

"When I was young I had a dog. I had to wash him every week, but I didn't have to feed him, my mother did. "

=> In this case "my mother did" means:

-My mother had to feed him.

-My mother fed him.

Thank you very much
Will

It's a run on sentence. But it means "I didn't have to feed him because my mother did [feed him]."
