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". 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 contracted form (short form). Example: No, I am not (No, I'm not)
