反义疑问句
Question Tags
反义疑问句是在陈述句末尾加上的简短疑问部分,比如 "isn't it?" 或 "do you?"。它用来核实信息,或请听话人表示同意。附加疑问部分重复陈述句的助动词(如果没有助动词,就用 do / does / did),并且肯定与否定相反:肯定陈述句接否定的附加疑问,否定陈述句接肯定的附加疑问。
何时使用
当你认为自己知道答案、想让对方确认,或在对话中希望对方赞同时使用。用降调时,附加疑问是在征求同意(It's cold, isn't it?)。用升调时,它是一个真正的问题(You haven't seen my keys, have you?)。
结构

例句

常见错误
You like coffee, isn't it?
You like coffee, don't you?
附加疑问部分重复陈述句的助动词和主语。"like" 没有助动词,所以用 don't + you。"isn't it" 不是万能的附加疑问。
She is a doctor, isn't he?
She is a doctor, isn't she?
附加疑问中的代词必须与陈述句的主语一致。
I'm right, amn't I?
I'm right, aren't I?
对于 "I am",标准的否定附加疑问是 "aren't I"。
Nobody called, didn't they?
Nobody called, did they?
nobody、never、nothing 这类词使陈述句成为否定句,所以附加疑问用肯定形式。nobody 和 somebody 之后用 "they"。
提示
先找到助动词(be、have、can、will…)。如果没有,就用 do / does / did。然后反转:肯定变否定,否定变肯定,最后以代词形式的主语结尾。
