Learn English – “I will do” or “I will do that”

ellipsisgrammaticality

I have come across the phrase I will do used as a response. Somehow, it seems incomplete. Shouldn't it be I will do that?

Best Answer

The reply I will do is to me less common than the other possibilities I will and I will do so, but perfectly normal. I will do that (in this sense) is even less likely, but still possible.
