反意疑問句反意疑問句又叫附加疑問句。反義疑問句提出情況和看法,問對方同意不同意,這種問句都由兩部分組成,前一部分用陳述句的形式,后一部分是一個附著在前一部分上的簡短問句,如前一部分為肯定形式,后一部分通常用否定形式,前一部分為否定形式,后一部分就用肯定形式,兩部分的時態要一致。
反意疑問句主要有下列兩種形式:
1.肯定的陳述句 + 否定的附加疑問。
例如:That car is running fast, isn't it?
2.否定的陳述句 + 肯定的附加疑問。
例如:That car isn't running fast, is it?
幾點應該注意的情況:
1.當陳述句部分的主語是 everybody, everyone, someone, no one, nobody, somebody 等合成詞時, 加疑問部分中的主語 在非正式文體中往往用 they。
例如:Nobody phoned while I was out, did they?
Everyone enjoyed the party, didn't they?
Somebody borrowed my pen yesterday, didn't they?
2.當陳述部分是 there- 存在句時,附加疑問句部分的動詞用肯定形式。
例如:There's no help for it, is there?
There's something wrong, isn't there?
3.陳述部分帶有 seldom, hardly, never, rarely, few, little, nowher, nothing 等否定詞或半否定詞時,附加疑問部分的動詞用肯定形式。
例如:Bob rarely got drunk, did he?
Few people know him, do they?
She seldom goes to the cinema, does she?
4.如果陳述部分是 I'm … 結構,附加疑問部分一般用aren't I.
例如:I'm late, aren't I?
5.如果陳述部分以不定代詞one 作主語,附加疑問句部分的主語在正式場合用 one,在非正式場合用 you。
例如:One can't be too careful, can one/can you?
6.當陳述部分是一個帶有 that-分詞作賓語的主從結構時,附加疑問部分一般應與主語和謂語動詞保持對應關系。
例如:She says (that) I did it, doesn't she?
但是,當陳述部分的主句是 I suppose, I think, I believe 等結構時,附加疑問部分則往往與that-
分句中的主語和謂語動詞保持對應關系,但要注意否定的轉移。
例如:I suppose (that) he's serious, isn't he?
I don't think (that) she cares, doesn't she?
7.當陳述部分帶有表示“所有”含義的動詞 have 時,附加疑問部分既可以用have形式,也可用do 形式;如果陳述部分的動詞是have的否定形式,附加疑問部分是用have形式還是用do形式,取決于陳述部分的動詞形式。
例如:You have a Rolls-Royce, haven't you/don't you?
He hasn't a lot of time to spare, has he?
Miss Smith doesn't have any money in her pocket, does she?
當陳述部分的have不表示“所有”而表示其他含義時,附加疑問部分則用do形式。
例如:You often have headaches, don't you?
She had a good time yesterday, didn't she?
8.陳述部分帶有情態動詞 ought to時,附加疑問部分在英國英語中仍用ought to形式,但在美國英語中常用should形式。
例如:The child ought to be punished, oughtn't he?
We ought to go there, shouldn't we?
9.陳述部分帶有情態動詞used to時,附加疑問部分可用used to形式或did形式。
例如:The Greens used to live in the country, usedn't they?
He used to smoke fifty cigarettes a day, didn't he?
10.陳述部分帶有情態動詞needn't時,附加疑問部分常用need,但有時也可用must。
例如:You needn't go yet, need you?
He needn't do that, must he?
11.陳述部分帶有情態動詞must表示“必須”時,附加疑問部分用mustn't。
例如:You must work hard next term, mustn't you?
當陳述部分的must表示“有必要”時,附加疑問部分則用needn't。
例如:You must go home right now, needn't you?
當mustn't表示“禁止”時,附加疑問部分一般用must。
例如:You mustn't walk on grass, must you?
當陳述部分的must 表示“一定”、“想必”等推測意義時,附加疑問部分不用must,而要根據陳述部分的不定式結構采用相應的主動詞或助動詞形式。
例如:He must be very tired, isn't he? (He must be very tired = I'm sure he is very tired.)
He must have waited here for a long time, hasn't he? (He must have waited…= I'm sure he has waited …)
You must have seen the play last week, didn't you? (You must have seen…= I am sure you saw…)
12.在由“祈使句+附加疑問”構成的附加疑問問句中,附加疑問部分一般用will you, won't you, would you, 有時也可用can you, can't you, why don't you, could you 等。
例如:Don't move the chair, will you?
Be quiet, would you?
Give me some cigarettes, can you?
Be quiet, can't you?
但是,以let's 開首的祈使句,附加疑問部分用shall we。
例如:Let's go camping, shall we?
Let's stop here, shall we?
以Let us開首的祈使句,如果含義是 allow us,不包括聽話人在內時,附加疑問部分則用will you。
例如:Let us go now, will you?
Let us have a look at your book, will you?
13.當陳述部分是并列句,疑問部分通常與最臨近的分句保持一致。
例如:He is a teacher,but his wife is an engineer,isn't she?
