In English, we have such answers below for YES/NO questions, how about Mandarin?
Sample answers: -yes, i am,
-yes, he/she is
-yes, we/you/they are
(verb-to-be)
-yes, i do,
-yes, he/she does
-yes, we/you/they do
(verb-to-do)
p/s: same goes to negative answers like no, i am not & so on.

(verb-to-do) They are essentially the same, just a little different.
eg: 1. - Do you like music? - yes, I do. - 你喜欢音乐吗?- 是的,我喜欢。
2. - Do you go? - yes, I do. - 你去吗?- 是的,我去。
Can you see that different? (all are "yes, I do." but in Chinese they are "是的,我喜欢。" and “是的,我去。” )

Yes, It is the same.
- 是的,我是。(eg:- Are you a teacher?- yes, I am. - 你是一位老师吗? - 是的,我是。)
- 是的,他/她是。
- 是的,我们/你们/他们是。
(verb-to-be)

"do" and "does" is the only feature of the English languages
no such thing in Chinese
just like there's no "the" and "a" in Chinese as well

上面Jason的回答只是把你的英语,一字一句的翻译了出来。事实上我们通常不说,“是的,她是”,一听就很“英式”。你要是给我语境,我可以告诉你我们是怎样回答的。否则,就算给了你一些答案,也只是表面工作,你是学不到什么东西的。
I hope you can know what I say.
