How to avoid repeating same words in a conversation [closed]

vocabulary word-usage repetition

Sorry if there's an answer for my question.

Is it possible to avoid of repeating the verb meaning the same thing in a conversation?

Example:
1. What do you like?
2. I like pizza. What do you like?
1. I like pasta.

The word like is repeated four times, and it doesn't look well. And I don't believe the sentence I, pasta is correct.

So.. Is there a resolution for my question? Thank you 🙂


I'm not sure there's a definite formula to follow here, but a conversation like the one you've given as an example could be spoken as:

  1. What do you like?
  2. Pizza. You?
  3. Pasta.

There are too many variables to be able to help in a general sense, but in order to avoid repeating the same word, use a different word or rewrite to remove the word entirely.
