Yes/no questions are questions for which we answer YES or NO. When we want to be more polite or more formal than usual it's good to use short answers instead of a single word ('yes', 'no' or 'yeah') only.

It's hard to disagree with this opinion... But maybe it's not such a bad idea to devote a whole day or at least an evening (let's say 14 th of February) for the one we love? Celebrate our love in a special way...?  What about those who love in secret? Isn't it a perfect day to say the subject of admiration that we love him/her? Send a letter, email or a valentine card? And what about singles who think Valentine's day is only for couples? Definitel...
