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?)。

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。
