(一)概念:反义疑问句(The Disjunctive Question) 即附加疑问句。它表示提问人的看法,没有把握,需要对方证实。 反义疑问句由两部分组成:前一部分是一个陈述句,后一部分是一个简短的疑问句,两部分的人称时态应保持一致。
(二)要点注意:
1、反意疑问句前后两部分谓语应是:“肯定陈述+否定疑问”或“否定陈述+肯定疑问”。
2、简略问句如果是否定式:not应与be,do,will等系动词、助动词、情态动词缩写。
3、简略问句的主语不用名词,应用人称代词。
4、陈述部分含“too...to”时,是否定句。
(三)用法:
1) 陈述部分I am时,疑问部分要用 aren't I.
I'm as tall as your sister,aren't I? (我和你姐姐一样高,对吗?)
2) 陈述部分用 no, nothing, nobody, never, few, little, seldom, hardly等否定含义的词时,疑问部分用肯定含义。如: The old man made no answer, did he?
Jim is never late for school, is he?
3) 陈述部分有have to +v. (had to + v.),疑问部分常用don't +主语(didn't +主语)。
We have to get there at eight tomorrow, don't we?
4) 陈述部分的谓语是used to 时,疑问部分用didn't +主语或 usedn't +主语。
He used to take pictures there, didn't he? / usedn't he?
5) 陈述部分有had better(最好) + v. 疑问句部分用hadn't you?
You'd better read it by yourself, hadn't you?
6) 陈述部分有would rather(宁可、宁愿) +v.,疑问部分多用 wouldn't +主语。
He would rather read it ten times than recite it, wouldn't he?
7) 陈述部分有You'd like to +v. 疑问部分用wouldn't +主语。
You'd like to go with me, wouldn't you?
8) 陈述部分主语是指示代词或不定代词everything, that, nothing, this, 疑问部分主语用it。
Everything is ready, isn't it?
陈述部分主语是不定代词everybody, anyone, somebody, nobody, no one等,疑问部分常用复数they,有时也用单数he.
9) think引导的宾语从句:
A.主语是第一人称
B. 如果主语不是第一人称则疑问部分与主句相对应构成反意疑问句
(不能说weren't they?)
10) 省去主语的祈使句的反意疑问句,疑问部分用will you。
11) Let's 开头的祈使句,后用shall we(或用shan't we) ?
而Let us 开头的祈使句,后用will you(或won't you)?
(或用shan't we)?
(或won't you)?
12) 陈述部分是"there be"结构的,疑问部分用there。
13) 否定前缀不能视为否定词,其反意疑问句仍用否定形式。
He is not unkind to his classmates, is he?
对于反义疑问句的回答,无论问题的提法如何,如果事实是肯定的,回答就用Yes;如果事实是否定的,回答就用No。
—He likes playing football, doesn’t he? 他喜欢踢足球,是吗?
—Yes, he does. / No, he doesn’t. 是的。/ 不是。
—His sister didn’t attend the meeting, did she? 他妹妹没有参加会议,是吗?
