Answer 1

Would you like to go? Yes, I would.

Has he been there? Yes, he has.

Just about any auxilliary (helper verb) can be used alone this way, in English.

Passive voice

Was the window opened? Yes, it was.

Progressive aspect

Was I riding my bike? Yes, I was.

Perfect aspect

Have you been studying? Yes I have.

Modality

Can I go? Yes you can. Must I? Yes you must.

Dummy function

Do you see him? Yes I do.

Emphasis

I do like this shirt! And you do, too!

The window was open, this is not a passive sentence, because open here is an adjective. The passive form is, the window was openED (by someone). :) - SpanishPal, Oct 3, 2011

Right, thanks SP. - pesta, Oct 3, 2011

Answer 2

Why don't you provide us with an example sentence like experienced members do?

There is an implied repetition of the verb in such a sentence ( do provide).

Answer 4

Of course it has something to do with the verb.

Do you like fast cars?

• Yes.

• Yes, I do.

• Yes, I like fast cars.

• Yes, I do like fast cars.

Does he go to school? Yes, he does.

Was he there last night? Yes he was.

Is she a doctor? Yes she is.

Will you marry me? No, I will not. Back off.

I like the last sentence. Fits right in with: " I do." - 0074b507, Oct 3, 2011

Answer 5

Hola.

"Do" lleva al fin cuando significa convenir a algo.

"Do" comes at the end of a sentence when you mean something is "suitable."

For example: "It will make us a bit late, but I suppose the train at 4:00 will do."
