Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: To be short answers worksheet
Let’s go through each question one by one. We’re making short answers using “Yes” or “No” + the correct pronoun and verb (like “she is”, “they aren’t”, etc.).

Remember:
- If the question starts with “Is”, answer with “is” or “isn’t”.
- If it starts with “Are”, answer with “are” or “aren’t”.
- Match the subject: “I” → “you are”; “he/she/it” → “he is / she is / it is”; “we/you/they” → “we are / you are / they are”.

Now let’s solve:

1. Are they happy? No, they aren’t.
2. Are you OK? Yes, I am. *(When someone asks “Are you…?” you answer with “I am”)*
3. Am I the next one? Yes, you are. *(When someone says “Am I…?” you answer with “you are”)*
4. Is it lunch time? No, it isn’t.
5. Is he at home? Yes, he is.
6. Are you girls ready? No, we aren’t. *(“You girls” = we, if you’re part of the group)*
7. Is Spiderman American? Yes, he is.
8. Are your friends from Spain? No, they aren’t.
9. Are they from Serbia? Yes, they are.
10. Are you any good at tennis? Yes, I am.
11. Is Liam in your class? Yes, he is.
12. Is your book on the desk? Yes, it is.
13. Is your sister tall? No, she isn’t.
14. Am I in your team? No, you aren’t.
15. Is she angry? Yes, she is.
16. Are you and Alan friends? Yes, we are. *(“You and Alan” = we, if you’re including yourself)*
17. Is your bike black? No, it isn’t.
18. Are you 10 years old? No, I’m not. *(Short for “I am not” — also acceptable: “I am not”)*
19. Is he at the cinema? No, he isn’t.

Final Answer:
1. they aren’t
2. I am
3. you are
4. it isn’t
