I am/I will Hi, there If someone says "Weren't you going to wash your car?", and you haven't washed it yet, you can answer "I am", can't you? That means "I am going to."... But what if someone asks you "Wouldn't you wash your car"? Should you say "I am" or "I will" Thank you

Weren’t you going to wash your car? I’m going to. I’m still going to. I will. I still will. I am (not completely wrong, but not as common. It’s a little ambiguous. Does it mean “I am going to.” Or “I am washing it now”) For the other question, it’s exactly as Laura says.

Usually, if a question is with "would" you'd answer with "I would" or "I wouldn't"

Wouldn't is, as Laura said, hypothetical. I don't think that is what you mean. It sounds very odd without a conditional. I think what you mean to say is weren't you going to wash your car.

Q: "Weren't you going to wash your car?" (means: I thought you were going to wash your car but you didn't) A: "I was." (means: I was going to wash my car but I didn't for some reason, like maybe it started raining.) - or-- A: "I am." (means: I still am going to wash my car I just haven't done it yet.) Q: "Wouldn't you wash your car?" (This is a hypothetical situation with "if" implied. For example, 'Wouldn't you wash your car if it were as dirty as mine?') A: Yes, I would. ---OR--- No, I wouldn't. (You wouldn't say 'I am' or 'I will' because we aren't asking what you are actually going to do. It's only hypothetical.)
