Is there any way you can use the words 'Yes' and 'No' without it being in the context of answering a question?
Both words can be used to answer yes/no questions like 'is X true' or 'are you X'.
Is there any case where you could simply respond with either single word without it being a question?
If you say 'I am X' for example, and someone says 'Yes', that doesn't actually make sense, does it? You'd have to say 'That's true' instead, right?
Edit:
Sorry, should have been more specific: I mean just 'Yes' or 'No' as a single word sentence. Can you say just 'Yes' or 'No' in response to a non-question and have it make sense?
