Learn about giving short contrasting answers in Spanish
In Spanish we can give a short answer, either "yo sí" (I do) or "yo no" (I don't) when we give a contrasting answer to what was just said by another person in order to say that we do the opposite.
Yo sí
Look at this negative construction that you want to counter by contrasting and expressing that "you do" (i.e., you do the opposite):
Yo no
However, if there is an affirmative statement, and you want to oppose it by saying "I don't", "I won't", "I am not"..., then you say "Yo no":
A mí sí / a mí no (with verbs like gustar)
When the verb used in the statement requires an indirect object or indirect object pronoun, like gustar, then the short answers are "a mí sí" or "a mí no".
Have a look:
These short answers can also be used to give a contrasting answer to something said in past or future tenses.
Here are other examples:
In Spanish we don't have to worry about what type of verb/structure is used in the previous sentence, as no verb is used in the short answers, unlike in English (I do, I will, I have, I didn't, I can't...)
Be careful with the written accent on sí and mí.
