Lesson Goal

At the end of this lesson you know how to make short 'yes/no answers'

Short anwers

In English it sounds impolite to answer questions using just 'yes' or 'no'. You can still give short, polite answers by using auxiliaries (hulpwerkwoorden).

Short yes/no answers

In English you answer questions with more than yes or no.

Do you like movies? > Yes .....

Je gebruikt een korte zin om antwoord te geven.

Short yes/no answers

Do you like pizza? Yes, I do! / No, I don't.

Can they come over today? Yes, they can. / No, they can't.

You repeat the first verb from the sentence.

Short yes/no answers....

Geef nooit antwoord met 1 woord!

Je begint met yes of no en herhaalt het eerste werkwoord van de vraag. 

Bij een no-antwoord voeg je 'not' of n't  toe.

Short yes/no answers

Did you do your homework?

Can you say Saschatchawan?

Did you steal my wallet?

Would you be a teacher?

Bij een kort yes/no antwoord, wat herhaal je van de vraag?

1. Alleen het vraagteken
2. Het eerste werkwoord
3. Het eerste onderwerp
4. Niks

What would be a polite answer?
- Was he ill yesterday?

1. Yes
2. No
3. No, he wasn't

Saying ‘Yes, I do. / No, I don’t’ in English is more polite than just saying ‘Yes. / No.’ That’s why short answers are very commonly used.

To form the short answer, you use the first word from the question. (This is either an auxiliary verb or a form of ‘be’.)

Use the long form (he does) in affirmative answers (yes).

Use the short form (he doesn’t) in negative answers (no).

Question                                       Affirmative             Negative
Do we know him?                      Yes, we do.         No, we don’t.
Can she see me?                       Yes, she can.     No, she can’t.
Have they read the book?    Yes, they have.  No, they haven’t.
Is he hungry?                              Yes, he is.            No, he isn’t.
Will he work?                                 Yes he will         No he won't

Mind: If ‘you’ is the subject of the question, ‘you’ must be replaced by ‘I’ or ‘we’.
Question                                       Affirmative               Negative
Do you know him?                     Yes, I / we do.     No, I / we don’t.

If the question starts with ‘are you’, ‘are’ must sometimes be replaced by ‘am’.
Question                                 Affirmative               Negative
Are you hungry?                   Yes, I am.                  No, I’m not.
But: →                                      Yes, we are.             No, we aren’t.
