主語
一般詞語
附加疑問句中
主語用和主句一致的主語,用
主格。附加疑問句隨從句。

當陳述部分的主語是
(2)no one時,後面附加疑問句中主語用they。

否定意義的詞
(1)當陳述部分有never,seldom, hardly,few,little,barely, scarcely, nothing,none,rarely ,no, not, no one, nobody, neither等否定意義的辭彙時,後面的反意疑問句則為肯定形式:
There're few apples in the basket, are there?
He can hardly swim, can he?
They seldom come late, do they?
(2)當陳述部分的主語為everyone,someone,anyone,no one等表示人的不定代詞時,疑問部分的主語用they或he:
Everyone in your family is a teacher, aren’t they\isn't he?
(3)當陳述部分的主語為everything,something,anything.nothing等表示物的不定代詞時,疑問部分的主語用it:
Something is wrong with your watch, isn’t it?
(4)當陳述部分含有否定意思的詞是unhappy,dislike,unfriendly,等含有否定詞綴的
派生詞,也就是有un,dis-前綴、-less後綴等含
詞綴而意思否定的詞,當
肯定句處理,疑問部分用否定形式。如:
He looks unhappy,doesn’t he? 他看上去不高興,不是嗎?
The girl dislikes history,doesn’t she? 這女孩不喜歡歷史,不是嗎?
(5)當陳述部分有less, fewer等詞視為肯定詞,疑問部分用否定形式。
There will be less pollution, won't there?
表示主語的詞
含有think, believe, suppose, imagine, expect等動詞後接
賓語從句構成的
主從複合句在構成反意疑問句時,視情況不同有兩種不同的構成方式。 (即當主句是I think,I believe,I suppose,I imagine,I expect,I guess時要反問從句,其餘句式均反問主句。)
(1)當主句的主語為
第一人稱時,其後的簡短問句應與從句相一致。例如:
I expect our English teacher will be back this weekend, won't she/he?
We suppose you have finished the project, haven't you?
值得注意的是,當這些動詞後接的
賓語從句的否定轉移到主句時,其仍屬
否定句,故其後的簡短問句套用肯定式,而非否定式。例如:
I don't believe that he can translate this book, can he?
We don't imagine the twins have arrived, have they?
此類句子的回答同"前否後肯"型反意疑問句一樣,如上述後一個句子,若雙胞胎已經到了,則回答為"Yes, they have.";若尚未到達,使用"No, they haven't."。
(2)當主句的主語為第二、三人稱時,其後的簡短問句則應與主句相一致(此時,否定只看主句,與從句無關)。例如:
Your sister supposes she needs no help, doesn't she?
You thought they could have completed the project, didn't you?
They don't believe she's an engineer, do they?
She doesn't expect that we are coming so soon, does she?
(3)但如果主句的時態是過去時等等,
疑問句應和主句的人稱時態保持一致。
have
陳述部分有had better,或其中的had表示
完成時態時,
疑問句套用hadn’t等開頭:
You’d better get up early, hadn’t you?
其他情況句中有have時疑問句套用don't等開頭
如have表示“有”的時候,有兩種形式:(have 表示有可用do或have來改寫)
-He has two sisters,doesn’t he? =He has two sisters, hasn’t he?
-He doesn't have any sisters,does he?
祈使句
當陳述部分是
祈使句時,疑問句要根據
語氣來表達,分三種情況:
1)一般情況下用will you 或won't you。
Give me a hand, will you?
Leave all the things as they are, won’t you?
Don't spoil your child, will you?
Take his dirty gloves away ,won't you?
2)以Let's(聽者包括在內)開頭的
祈使句,前肯後可肯可否,疑問句必須用shall we(shall只用於第一人稱);只有以Let us(聽話人不被包括在“us”裡面)或Let me開頭的祈使句,問句才用will you。
Let us know the time of your arrival, will you?
Let's try again, shall we?
Let me help you, will you?
Let’s have a look on your book,shall we?
3)當陳述句是否定的祈使句時,問句可用will you 或can you 。
e.g. Don’t make much noise, will/can you?
There be句型
There be 句型中,反義疑問部分必須為be 動詞 + there
There are some apples in the basket, aren't there?
There isn't any milk left, is there?
there used to be,反義疑問句有兩種形式:didn't there和usedn't there.
There used to be some cities wall, usedn't there? 或:There used to be some cities wall, didn't there?
Must
.當陳述部分有情態動詞must,問句有4種情況:
(1)mustn't表示“禁止,不可,不必”時,附加問句通常要用must.
You mustn't stop your car here, must you?
你不能把車停在這地方,知道嗎?
(2)must表示“有必要”時,附加問句通常要用needn't.
They must finish the work today, needn’t they?
他們今天要完成這項工作,是嗎?
(3)must be表推測,用來表示對現 在的情況進行推測時,問句通常要根據must後面的動詞採用相應的形式。
He must be good at English, isn’t he? 他英語一定學得很好,是嗎?
She must be a good English teacher, isn’t she? 她一定是位優秀的英語老師,是嗎?
(4)當must have done表示對過去的情況進行推測(一般句中有明確的過去
時間狀語),問句要根據陳述部分
謂語的情況用“didn't+主語”或“wasn't/weren't+主語”;如果強調動作的完成(一般沒有明確的過去時間狀語),問句要用“haven't/hasn't+主語”。
She must have read the novel last week, didn’t she?
她上星期一定讀了這本小說,不是嗎?
You must have told her about it, haven’t you?
你一定把這事告訴她了,不是嗎?
值得一提是:著名學者
周海中教授在《英語附加疑問句的一個問題》一文中指出:陳述部分的must不管是用來表示對現在的情況進行推測還是用來表示對過去的情況進行推測,附加問句都可以mustn't。該文舉了若干個實例,從而改變了人們對這一用法的看法。
回答 反意疑問句的回答:前肯後否,前否後肯,根據事實從後往前翻譯。如:
(1)They work hard,don’t they?他們努力工作,不是嗎?
Yes, they do.對,他們工作努力。/No, they don't.不,他們工作不努力
(2)They don’t work hard, do they? 他們不太努力工作,是嗎?
Yes, they do. 不,他們工作努力。/No, they don't. 是的, 他們工作不努力
否定反義疑問句的回答
當陳述部分為肯定式,反義疑問句為否定式時,其回答一般不會造成困難,一般只需照情況回答即可:
"It’s new, isn’t it?" "Yes, it is." “是新的,不是嗎?”“是,是新的。”
"He wants to go, doesn’t he?" "No, he doesn’t." “他想去,不是嗎?”“不,他不想去。”
此時,"Yes"即是,對前面"It's new."的肯定。
回答反義疑問句的原則
回答反意疑問句通常應根據實際情況來確定,如有人問你You are asleep, aren’t you? 你應回答No, I’m not. 因為既然你能回答,肯定你還沒有asleep。但如果別人問你 You aren’t asleep, are you?(你還沒有睡著,對嗎),你也只能回答No, I’m not.(是的,還沒有睡著),而不能回答為Yes, I’m not. 也不能回答成 Yes, I am.
“It is a beautiful flower,isn't it?” “It isn't a beautiful flower,is it?”
上述兩句句子的回答肯定均為“Yes,it is."否定為“No,it isn't."
由上述例子可知,反義疑問句回答與句子本身所包含的中文肯定與否的含義並無太大關聯,只需注意事實,肯定即用yes,否定用no,無需考慮句子原本是前否後肯或是前肯後否。
建議在答題時,先按照實際寫後面的答句,再根據前後一致原則寫Yes或No。
口訣
反意疑問並不難,陳述疑問句中含。
前後肯否恰相反,否定詞綴不能算。
主謂時態要一致,特殊情況記心田。
實際情況來回答,再把yes和no練。
綜上所述,反義疑問句回答就是按實際情況回答。
對反意疑問句的回答,無論問題的提法如何,如果事實是肯定的,就用yes,事實是否定的,就要用no。但是,翻譯成漢語意思剛好相反,這種回答的yes要譯成“不”,no要譯成“是”。
例:—He likes playing football, doesn’t he? 他喜歡踢足球,不是嗎?
—Yes, he does. / No, he doesn’t. 是的。/ 不是。
—His sister didn’t attend the meeting, did she? 他妹妹沒有參加會議,是嗎?
—Yes, she did. / No, she didn’t. 不,她參加了。/ 是的,她沒參加。

c. 上述部分主句謂語是think, believe, expect, suppose, imagine等引導的賓語從句,疑問部分與賓語從句相對應構成反義疑問句。

有些動詞如:cost hurt hit put 等,它們的過去時與原型相同,在肯定句中一定要先弄清楚它們是什麼時態:
(20)The skirt made of silk cost you a lot of money,( )?
A.didn't it B.didn't you
C.doesn't it D.don't you
句中主語是the skirt,排除 B D,主語是三單,可斷定cost是過去時,所以選 A 。

其他信息
幾乎各國語言中都有反義疑問句存在。在不同的語言中,由於語言習慣的差異,對反義疑問句的回答方法各有不同。其中不外乎兩種:
一、以中文為代表的反義疑問句
以中文為代表的反義疑問句包括中文,俄語等。其特點是“‘是’或‘不是’表示我同意或不同意對方說的話”
如中文:你難道不喜歡看電影么?
當回答:
不,我喜歡。
此時,說話人認為對方說得不對,所以用“不”來首先回答。
二、以英文為代表的反義疑問句
以英文為代表的反義疑問句除英文外尚有德語,法語等。其特點是“‘是’或‘不是’表示說話人對事實的認識”
如德語Es regnet nicht?(外面沒在下雨么?)
回答:
Nein,es regnet nicht(是的,沒在下雨)
說話人本人認為沒在下雨,所以用表示否定的Nein事先回答
以上是各種語言中可能出現的反義疑問句的情況,在語言學習的過程中,應認真體會,確保不出現錯誤
