I have a question about informal, spoken American english.
To me sometimes it seems like in informal english the are is dropped in questions. Instead of "are you having a good time" it's just "you having a good time?" or "are you gonna buy that?" - "you gonna buy that?" or "are you sure?" - "you sure?" I wonder if it's true or if they actually just say "you're having a good time?" - "you're gonna buy that?" - "you're sure?"
The reson I'm asking this is also because I think I know that in the negative forms the are wouldn't be dropped. It would be "you're not having a good time?" -"you're not gonna buy that?" - "you're not sure?"
I hope my question is clear enough, anyway thanks already for helping me with this!
