Is this grammatically correct?

Hey, quick question:

Is "We do indeed do" grammatically correct?

In a full sentence example:

"Do you give some sort of training?"

"We do indeed do training..."

or the like.

Thanks!

Yes but I'd still switch it to "we do indeed give training" or another appropriate verb if that was just an example

Are you using the expression in dialogue? If so, it doesn't matter if it's grammatically correct or not. It may even sound better to use grammatically incorrect sentences to make it sound more authentic - depending on where your character is from, his background etc...

I would go with the grammatically sound and concise "yes" there.

I can just see that

"Do you give training here?"
"Yes."
"..."
"..."
"...Okay then."

If "yes" is too concise, how about "yes, we do"?

Or "Indeed, we do"

There are times when one wants to give a strongly-affirmative tone to an answer by echoing the question. But the correct echo is: "We do indeed give training.". Nothing significant is lost by leaving the last two words implicit rather than expressed: "We do indeed.".
