反義疑問句由兩部分組成:前一部分是一個陳述句,后一部分是一個簡短的疑問句,兩部分的人稱時態應保持一致。這種句型用來表達提問人的看法,沒有把握,需要對方證實。1. 陳述部分肯定式+疑問部分否定式例如:They work here, don’t they?She was ill yesterday, wasn’t she?You didn’t go, did you?He can’t ride a bike, can he?2. 陳述部分否定式+疑問部分肯定式當陳述部分的主語是I, everyone, everything, nobody時,后面的疑問句應表示為:I am a student, aren’t I?Everyone is in the classroom, aren’t they?Everything begins to grow in spring, doesn’t it?Nobody will go, will they?3. 當陳述部分有never, seldom, hardly, few, little, barely, scarcely, nothing等否定詞時,后面的疑問句則表示為:There are few apples in the basket, are there?He can hardly swim, can he?They seldom come late, do they?4. 當陳述部分是I think加從句時,疑問句應和從句的人稱時態保持一致。I think chickens can swim, can’t they?I think Lucy is a good girl, isn’t she?I didn’t think he was happy, was he?5. 陳述部分有had better時,疑問句應用hadn’t開頭:You’d better get up early, hadn’t you?6. 當陳述部分是祈使句時,疑問句要根據語氣來表達:Let’s go out for a walk, shall we?Let us go out for a walk, will you?Turn on the radio, will you?7. 反義疑問句的回答用yes, no,但是,當陳述部分是否定形式時,回答要按事實。例如: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.對,他們工作不努力。
