Answer this one with a type of sport. You could also add in a frequency word.

Do you often eat vegetables?

To answer this question you could:

add 'hai' in front

not add 'hai' but instead change the frequency word from 'yoku' to 'itsumo' (always), 'taitei' (usually), 'tokidoki' (sometimes) or 'tama ni' (occasionally)

Answer 'hai' but be MORE SPECIFIC about what vegetables you do eat.

Answer 'iie' but remeber to change 'tabemasu' to negative, 'tabemasen'

or use a combination (be creative).

I've said 'Yes I often eat vegetables. I usually eat carrots and corn.'
