Jack: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Mike: No, I dont have any brothers or sisters.

I wonder if I can just say
No, I dont to replace what Mike said.

Thanks.
 
Yes, you can.

Remember that the second quote mark ends the quotation. You quote is 'No, I don' and you've then added some more.
You need "No, I don't". A single apostrophe doesn't end a quote opened by a double apostrophe. This is wrong - [FONT=&quot]’[/FONT]t[FONT=&quot]’[/FONT]
 
Mike could also just say 'No'.
 
Or even "No, I'm an only child."
