did

--feedback--

This word is used in short answers to confirm or emphasize an action in the past.

--explanation--

Short answers in the Simple Past often use the auxiliary verb did to confirm or deny an action. This structure avoids repeating the full sentence while maintaining clarity. For example:

Question: Did you finish the project? Short answer: Yes, I did.

Question: Did they call you back? Short answer: No, they didn't.

In the dialogue, James uses Yes, I did to confirm that he found the bug Lisa asked about.
