Yes
一 是 shì
Meaning: yes /right ; a to-be verb
First, 'yes' here is used to confirm. A simple answer to check things and ascertain things.
Example 1:
请问你是林先生吗 Qǐngwèn nǐ shì lín xiānshēng ma?
是的，我是。 Shì de, wǒ shì.
Yes, I am Mr. Lin.
Example 2:
冰箱里的牛奶是谁喝完的？ Bīngxiāng lǐ de niúnǎi shì shuí hē wán de?
Who drank all the milk in the fridge?
是Angel (喝完的)。 Shì Angel (hē wán de).
Angel did.
☝ Here the response isn't a direct yes, but it directed to the culprit with the word yes in to-be function.
二 对 duì
Meaning: yes/ right
三 没错 meí cuò
Meaning: That's right (although the literal translation is 'not wrong').
I combined the two in the explanation, so you guys won't be confuse.
Second and third way had some same scenario that come in handy and it totally depends on your own preference.
#1 Asking of identity
Example:
请问你是林先生吗？ Qǐngwèn nǐ shì lín xiānshēng ma?
Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin?
对 / 没错，我是。 Duì/ Méi cuò, wǒ shì.
Yes, I am.
#2 Opinion exchange
It is frequently used for this scenario. 对/没错 are used to support one's opinion and that you agree with them.
Example:
这件衣服真好看。 Zhè jiàn yīfú zhēn hǎokàn.
This dress is nice.
