Different cultures use different agreement styles. Consider the following:
                
Jack: You do not like doing presentations.
                
Jane: Yes.
                
Is Jane agreeing or is she disagreeing? 
                
There are two possible answers.  You agree with the statement or you agree with the query. 
Agreement is usually in the form of a short response to a sentence.
Mike:  I will see jack later.  Yes I will.
                
Jane:  Will the team not finish on time?  
                
Alison:  No it won’t.
