Unit9:語法點講解
But you miss teaching yoga, don’t you?
反義疑問句
反義疑問句是加在一句陳述句后的兩個單詞。反義疑問句給予另一方回應(yīng)的機會。盡管使用不同的單詞,但反義疑問句都表示,你同意嗎?我正確嗎?
反義疑問句有肯定式和否定式??隙ň浜笥梅穸ㄊ?,否定句后用肯定式。
肯定句的反義疑問句,助動詞的否定形式+主語(代詞)。
例:Jane has already seen the movie, hasn’t she?
簡已經(jīng)看過了這部電影,是嗎?
否定句的反義疑問句,助動詞的肯定形式+主語(代詞)。
例:He isn’t interested, is he?
他不感興趣,對嗎?
句子里沒有助動詞時,用do,does,did。
例:They don’t have a car, do they?
他們沒車,對嗎?
反義疑問句可以用在過去時,現(xiàn)在時和將來時,所以要注意前后時態(tài)的匹配。
例:They will be there, won’t they?
他們會回來的,是嗎?
