反意疑问句
陈述句后面加一个简短问句,前肯后否、前否后肯。
…isn't it? / …, is it?
要点
  1. 基本规则:前肯后否、前否后肯,前后时态和主语要一致。
  2. 简短问句里一律用代词,不再重复名词。
  3. 陈述部分有 never、hardly、few、little 等否定词时,后面用肯定。
  4. 祈使句后常用 will you;Let's 后用 shall we。
  5. 回答按事实答,不受问句形式影响。
  6. 前面是 I am 时,简短问句只能用 aren't I(I am on the list, aren't I?)—— am I not? 太书面,am not I 根本没有这一式,只能整块记。
  7. 陈述部分用 there be 时,短句里 there 照抄过去、不换 it:There is only one seat left, isn't there? —— 这一格的"主语"就是那个 there。
例句
It is a nice day, isn't it?
今天天气不错,是吧?
You don't like coffee, do you?
你不喜欢咖啡,是吗?
He has never been there, has he?
他从没去过那儿,是吗?
Let's go together, shall we?
我们一起去,好吗?
There is only one seat left, isn't there?
只剩一个座位了,是吧?
These are your gloves, aren't they?
这些是你的手套,对吧?
易错提示
  • 简短问句里用代词:Tom is here, isn't he?(不是 isn't Tom?)
  • 前句有 never / hardly / few / little 时算否定句,后面要接肯定。
  • 否定问句的回答按事实走,别顺着中文的"是 / 不"翻:You don't like coffee, do you? — Yes, I do.(不,我喜欢)/ No, I don't.(对,我不喜欢)—— 英文的 Yes 永远跟着"喜欢"这件事。
  • 前面是 this / that,短句里换成 it(That was your bag, wasn't it?);these / those 换成 they —— 名词不进短句,代词要"换个头"。
