Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
Linda has read the reports. Which option is the best answer?
Yes, I have.
EN885f75b0
Yes, I do.
EN4fa1be50
Do is used in answer to questions in the Present Simple tense, not the Present Perfect. Since James asked the question in the Present Perfect tense, the correct short answer should use Present Perfect.

When someone asks you a yes/no question, you can often respond with a short answer. This applies to questions in the Present Perfect tense as well.
To give a short answer, use Yes or No, followed by the subject (like I, we, or they) and then have or haven't. For example for the question Have you seen the report? you could use the short answers:
Yes, I have., or
No, I haven't.
This makes your answer clear and concise without repeating the whole question.
