Short answers are the most common way of answering yes-no questions.  A short answer consists of the subject of the sentence and an auxiliary verb or part of to be.
- Can you play the guitar?
- Yes, I can.
- No, I can’t.

- Does he know this book?
- Yes, he does.
- No, he doesn’t. 

- Are they traveling?
- Yes, they are.
- No, they aren’t.

Pronouns generally replace nouns in short answers.
- Will Ms. Wilson come to work today?
- Yes, she will.
- No, she won’t.

- Did it rain yesterday?
- Yes, it did.
- No, it didn’t.
