Si te fijas, en la afirmativa, sólo hay una forma posible, nunca se usan contracciones en respuestas cortas afirmativas.
En negativo se pueden utilizar dos formas diferentes, usando las contracciones. SIEMPRE usa contracciones con respuestas cortas negativas. Recuerda que formas una contracción cuando unes dos palabras, y se cambia una letra por apóstrofo.
Possible Contractions
- Personal Pronoun + to be (He's not)

LONG ANSWERS.
Well, to give a long answer you only have to add the complement used in the question.
Bueno, para dar una respuesta larga solo tienes que agregar el complemento usado en la pregunta.
Por ejemplo:
Question: Are you Patrick?
Affirmative Answer: Yes, I am Patrick, or Yes, I'm Patrick.
Si la respuesta fuera negativa, generalmente se agrega la respuesta correcta.
Negative Answer: No, I'm not Patrick, I'm Peter Paul.
