一般疑问句

一、概念

一般疑问句是疑问句的一种。它是指用yes（是）或no（否）来回答的句子。 其结构是： 系动词be/助动词/情态动词+主语+其他成分 通常回答为： 肯定：Yes，+主语+提问的助动词.

否定：No，+主语+提问的助动词+not.

如: Are you from Japan﹖

Yes I am． / No I'm not．

Is her sister doing her homework now﹖ Yes she is． / No she isn't． Does he work in a bank﹖

Yes he does． / No he doesn't． Do you live near your school﹖ Yes I do． / No I don't． Can you speak French﹖ Yes I can． / No I can't． May I go home now﹖

Yes you may． / No you mustn't．

二、句型变换

1．将陈述句变为一般疑问句时，如句中有be 动词（am/ is/ are）时，可直接将它们提至主语前。如主语为第一人称，应将其改为第二人称。

如： I'm in Class 2Grade 1． → Are you in Class 2Grade 1﹖

We're watching TV． → Are you watching TV﹖

2．陈述句中有情态动词（can may must …）时，也可直接将它们提至主语前，即可成为一般疑问句。

如： He can swim now． → Can he swim now﹖

The children may come with us． → May the children come with us﹖ 3．陈述句中只有一个实义动词作谓语且其时态为一般现在时，变为一般疑问句时要在句首加do或does 主语后的实义动词用原形。

如： I like these animals． → Do you like these animals﹖

She wants to go to the movies． → Does she want to go to the movies﹖ 4．一般疑问句一般读升调(↑)

5．一般疑问句有时不用yes或 no 回答。

如： Are they in town now﹖ I think so.

May I sit here﹖ Certainly．

Does he like soccer﹖ Sorry I don't know．

6. 一般疑问句的第一单词总是虚词,读的时候要读轻声
