Dear teachers and members:
I have learned that in a yes or no answer, a constraction at the end is incorrect, but I would like to know if a constraction is not correct at the end of a sentence in general.
1) Are you an English teacher?
Yes, I'm (incorrect)
2) Is she your sister?
No, she isn't. (incorrect)
Is is correct to use a constraction in this way:
1) Mary and Ann are architects, but other than English Mary speaks France; Ann doesn't.
2) I like to read and study; you don't.
Regards.
