Yes/No questions
Subject and verb change their position in statement and question.
| statement | You are from Germany. |
| question | Are you from Germany? |
We always use the short answer, not only "Yes" or "No". This sounds rude.
NOTE:
If the answer is "Yes", we always use the long form.
Example: Yes, I am.
If the answer is "No", we either use the long or the contrated form (short form).
Example: No, I am not - No, I'm not.
| Are | you | from Germany? | Yes, | I | am. |
| No, | I | am not. 'm not. | |||
| Is | he | your friend? | Yes, | he | is. |
| Are | Peter and John | from England? | Yes, | they | are. |
