反义疑问句

反意疑问句是指先陈述一件事，再用省略的一般疑问句附加在其后构成的疑问句。通常用yes/no回答。

对于反意疑问句，我们必须知道的基本规则：

1、反意疑问句的陈述部分如果是肯定，附加的一般疑问句就用否定形式；如果陈述部分是否定，则附加部分用肯定形式。

（我们可以这样记忆这条规则：前肯后否，前否后肯）

如：This is a book, isn’t it?

This is not a book, is it?

You can speak some English, can’t you?

You can’t speak any English, can you?

2、反意疑问句的附加部分（疑问句）的主语一定要用人称代词充当（前句为there be句型除外，在那样的情形里，句尾还用there），如果后部分是否定，一定要用缩写形式。（前部分为I am…时，后部分用aren’t I?）

如：I am a teacher, aren’t I?

There will be a meeting, won’t there?

3、如何回答反意疑问句对于很多同学来说可能会是一个问题，因为在这点上英语和汉语的习惯不同。

汉语：“你不是一个老师，是吗？”“是的，我不是。”

英语：You aren’t a teacher, are you? No, I’m not.

汉语：“你不是一个老师，是吗？”“不，我是。”

英语：You aren’t a teacher, are you? Yes, I am.

其它应该知道的规则：

1．陈述部分里的代词no one(nobody)、everyone(everybody)、

someone(somebody)、anyone(anybody)等，在最后部分用he或者they代替。

如：Everyone should work hard, shouldn’t he/they?

2．must作必须讲，后部分用must或者need；must not作禁止讲，后部分用may。

如：We must keep quiet in the library, mustn’t/needn’t we?

They must not park their cars here, may they?

3．有时候前面的陈述部分看似陈述形式，但其中含有seldom（不常）、hardly（几乎不）、nobody（没人）、nothing（没有什么）、never（从不）、none（一个也没有）、neither(两者都不)、few（几乎没有）、little（几乎没有）等表示否定意义的词，此时要把陈述部分看成否定，其后的附加疑问句要用肯定形式；某些句子里含有dis-或者un-这样表示否定意义的前缀的复合词(如dislike和unusual)，还是要把它看成肯定句。

如：He is never late for school, is he?

He can hardly believe you, can he?

There is nothing new in today’s newspaper, is there?

It seldom rains here in spring, does it?

It is very unusual, isn’t it?

4．“(Don’t)+动词原形+其他”这样的祈使句无论否定还是肯定，反意疑问句的疑问部分都用“will you”。

Open the door. — Open the door, will you?

Don’t talk in class. — Don’t talk in class, will you?

5．Let’s do和Let us do

Let’s…（包含对方，所以后部分用shall we?）

Let us…（不包含对方,所以后部分用will you?）

如：Let’s play football, shall we?这句话的含义是说话者邀请听话人和他一起去踢足球，所以后部分用人称代词we。

Let us play football, will you?这句话的含义是说话者请求听话人允许他去踢足球，所以后部分用人称代词you。

6．把感叹句看成一般意义的陈述句，然后照一般的规则处理。

如：What a good boy he is, isn’t he?

How hard he works, doesn’t he?

7．英语里没有am not的缩写形式，一般用aren’t。

如：I am your friend, aren’t I?

8．前部分有“过去常常干某事used to do sth.”这样的结构，后半部分用didn’t或者usedn’t。

如：You used to get up early in the morning, didn’t/usedn’t you?

9．前部分含有“I think…”，如“I think he is right.”，应该把它理解成“He is right”，然后做相应的疑问部分。因为think后的宾语从句不能含有not，所以“I don’t think he is right.”应该看成“He isn’t right”，然后做相应的疑问部分。

如：I think he is right, isn’t he?

I don’t think he is right, is he?
