九、Keygrammar:

反义疑问句(Questiontags)

［陈述而分)1不加状问部分)

1.基本结构

(1)肯定陈述部分+否定附加疑问部分

Youareastudent,aren'tyou?

(2)否定陈述部分+肯定附加疑问部分

Youaren'tastudent,areyou?

(3)附加疑问部分由“be动词/助动词/情态动词+生语(人称代词)”构成，为简略的一般疑

问句。主语和动词必须与陈述部分保持人称、数、时态的一致。

Heistall,isn'the?

Helikesdrawing,doesn'the?

Theycouldjump,couldn'tthey?

2.用法

⑴当陈述部分是Iam…，附加疑问部分用aren'tL

Iamright,aren'tI?

(2)当陈述部分主语是this,that时，附加疑问部分主语用ito

This/Thatisabeautifulpicture,isn'tit?

当陈述部分主语是these,those时，附加疑问部分主语用they。

These/Thosearebeautifulpictures,aren'tthey?

(3)当陈述部分为Therebe句型时，附加疑问部分用“be动词+there”。

Thereisabookonthedesk,isn'tthere?

(4)当陈述部分主语是everybody,everyone,someone,anyone,noone,nobody,somebody,

anybody等不定代词时，附加疑问部分主语用he或they。

Everybodylikesthisgarden,doesn'the/don'tthey?

(5)当陈述部分主语是everything,nothing,something,anything等不定代词时，附加疑问部

分主语用ito

Everythingisready,isn'tit?

(6)当陈述部分带有seldom,hardly,rarely,never,few,little,nobody等否定词时，附加疑问部

分的动词用肯定形式。

Heseldomwenttoschoolonfoot,didhe?

当陈述部分带有否定前缀如im-,un-,in-,dis-等的派生词时，仍当作肯定句处理，附加

疑问部分的动词用否定形式。

Shelooksunhappy,doesn,tshe?

Theydislikedthisbook,didn'tthey?

(7)当陈述部分是祈使句时，刚加疑问部分一般用willyou

Pleaseopenthedoor,willyou?

以Letus或Letme开头的祈使句，附加疑问部分同样必须用willyou。

Leiusgo,willyou?

以Let's开头的祈使句，附加疑问部分必须用shallwe。

Let'sgo,shallwe?

注：“Letus+动词原形”句式和一般的祈使句一样，都省略了主语you。比如Letusgo,

willyou?可以理解成Youletusgo,willyou?而“Let's+动词原形”句式则表示“让我们……”，

祈使的动作发生者是US,附加疑问部分应为shallweo

(8)若宾语从句的主句为“Ithink/believe/guess”等结构时，附加疑问部分的动词与宾语从

句中的主语主谓一致。但要注意否定前置的情况。

Ithinkheisanexcellentstudent,isn'the?

Idon'tthinkhecandoit,canhe?

(9)当陈述部分有表示“有”含义的动词have时，附加疑问部分的谓语部分动词用have

或doo

Hehasabook,hasn't/doesn'the?

当陈述部分含半助动词have/hasto时，附加疑问部分的动词用do的适当形式。

Youhavetofinishyourhomeworktonight,don'tyou?

Hedoesn'thavetogohomeearlytoday,doeshe?

(10)当陈述部分有“usedto+动词原形”时，附加疑问部分的动词用used/did,后一种用法

更普遍。

Sheusedtogotoschoolbybus,usedn't/didn'tshe?

3.注意

(1)附加疑问部分如为否定形式，要用缩写形式，不能出现not。

TomisfromLondon,isn'tlie?

(2)对反意疑问句的回答，需依据事实，且前后一致。如果是Yes,后面接肯定句；如果是

No,后面接否定句。

——Thecrownismadeofgold,isn'tit?

一Yes,itis./No,itisn't.

根据句子的功能，简单句可分为四类：陈述句、疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。

1.陈述句

(1)肯定式

Heisaboy.

Theydothehouseworkeveryday.

(2)否定式

①构成谓语动词的助动词加not构成否定句。若谓语动词为be,其否定式为be加not。

Heisn'tastudent.

Theydon'tdothehouseworkeveryday.

②由no,hardly,never,nobody,nothing等构成的否定句。

其中两者的全部否定用neither或nor,部分否定用both加not构成。

NeitherofthemknowsFrench.

NotbothofthemknowFrench.

三者或三者以上的全部否定用none,nothing,nobody,noone等，部分否定用all,

many,every力Unot构成。

Noneoftheseanswersisright.

Notallthesebooksaremine.

③在某些句子中，按句意应放在that从句中的否定词not被前移到主句中，这种否定

提前的情况用于think,believe,suppose等动词。

Idon'tbelieveitwillbeverycoldtomorrow.

2.疑问句

按结构可分为四种：

(1)一般疑问句

①用Yes或No来回答的疑问句。

②往往把be动词、助动词、情态动词置于句首。

③在一般疑问句中，如果提问人对答案没有肯定或否定的意向，句中常用非肯定词。

Isthereanythingwrongwithyourcar?

如果提问人对答案有肯定的意向，即希望得到肯定的回答，则在该用非肯定词的地

方用肯定词。

因此，在招待客人或向他人表示乐意提供帮助时，通常用some代替any。

(2)特殊疑问句

用疑问代词或疑问副词对句中某一特殊部分提问的句子，不用Yes或N。回答。

①疑问词作句子的宾语、状语、表语或修饰这三种成分时，用"疑问词+一般疑问句语

序”。

Whenwillyougo?

②疑问词作主语或主语的定语时，用“疑问词+陈述句语序”。

WhosefatherworksinShanghai?

Whoisondutytoday?

(3)反意疑问句

构成：

陈述部分+附加疑问部分

肯定否定

否定肯定

Heisastudent,isn'the?

Heisn'tastudent,ishe?

Shedoesn'tlikeswimming,doesshe?

(4)选择疑问句

选择疑问句是用or连接询问的两部分，以供选择，回答需选择其中一种，不能用Yes

或Noo

—AreyouJimorTom?

一I'mTom.

3.祈使句

用以表示命令、请求或建议，主语通常省略。

肯定式谓语用动词原形。

Standup,please.

否定式用“Dorft(Never)+动词原形”。

Don'tbeafraid.

4.感叹句

用以表示快乐、痛苦等强烈感情的句子称为感叹句。

感叹句有用How或What开头的两种形式。

(l)How开头的感叹句

①How+主语+谓语

Howtimeflies!

②How+形容词/副词(+主语+谓语)

Howinteresting(itis)!

Howfastheran!

(2)What开头的感叹句
