| A: Don't forget to send a postcard from France. Choices: 1) Fine, I can. 2) Sure, but I won't. 3) Okay, I won't. 4) No problem, I will. I get a bit confused about the third choice and the fourth choice. Point 1: Okay, I won't (forget). vs No problem, I will (forget). Answer is 3) Point 2: Oky, I won't (send a postcard from France). vs No problem, I will (send a postcard from France). Answer is 4) |

| I'd also choose 3) over 4). Max: Don't forget to send a postcard. Pat: Okay, I won't (forget). Sam: No problem, I will (forget). There's also puntuation to consider, which if we changed it would make 4) correct: Sam: No problem. (I won't forget.) I will (send you a postcard). Additionally, there could be an implied reminder, say, "Remember", which again would make 4) correct. Max: Remember, don't forget to send a postard. Pat: No problem, I will (remember). Sam: Okay, I won't (remember). Sam: Okay. (I will remember). I won't (forget to send you a postcard). In short, 3) is still the best choice: Max: Don't forget to send a postcard. Pat: Okay, I won't (forget to do that) Sam: Okay, I won't (send you one). |

| Why not simply add the appropriate verb to avoid confusion. 3. No, I won't forget. 4. OK, I'll send it. |
