一般疑问句的英语问句
General Interrogative Sentences in English.
General interrogative sentences, also known as yes/no questions, are used to ask for confirmation or to inquire about general information. They are formed by inverting the subject and the auxiliary verb or modal verb, and adding a question mark at the end.
Structure of General Interrogative Sentences.
The basic structure of a general interrogative sentence is as follows:
Auxiliary verb/modal verb + subject + main verb + ...?
For example:
Do you like apples?
Can you speak English?
Have you ever been to Paris?
Using Auxiliary Verbs and Modal Verbs.
The choice of auxiliary verb or modal verb depends on the tense and mood of the question.
Present Tense.
Use "do" or "does" for present simple tense.
Example: Do you like coffee? (subject = "you")。
Use "did" for past simple tense.
Example: Did you go to the party yesterday? (subject = "you")。
Past Tense.
Use "have" or "has" for present perfect tense.
Example: Have you ever visited the Eiffel Tower? (subject = "you")。
Use "had" for past perfect tense.
Example: Had you seen the movie before? (subject = "you")。
Future Tense.
Use "will" for future simple tense.
Example: Will you be home for dinner? (subject = "you")。
Modal Verbs.
Use "can" or "could" to express ability or possibility.
Example: Can you swim?
Use "may" or "might" to express permission or possibility.
Example: May I borrow your pen?
Use "must" to express obligation or certainty.
Example: Must you leave so soon?
Exceptions.
There are a few exceptions to the general structure of interrogative sentences.
Questions beginning with "who," "what," "when," "where," "why," or "how"
Example: Who is the president of the United States?
Questions with the verb "be"
Example: Are you happy?
Questions with verbs that do not take an auxiliary verb.
Example: Does it matter?
Using Question Tags.
Question tags are short phrases added to the end of a statement to turn it into a question. They are typically used in informal speech to confirm information or to seek agreement.
Positive statement + negative question tag.
Example: It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
Negative statement + positive question tag.
Example: You don't like coffee, do you?
Using Inversion with "Not"
When negating a general interrogative sentence with "not," the subject and the auxiliary verb are inverted, even if the sentence already has an auxiliary verb.
Auxiliary verb/modal verb + not + subject + main verb + ...?
Example: Don't you like apples?
Not + auxiliary verb/modal verb + subject + main verb + ...?
Example: Do you not like apples?
Intonation.
In spoken English, general interrogative sentences have a characteristic intonation pattern. The voice typically rises at the end of the question, indicating that the speaker is seeking information.
Examples of General Interrogative Sentences. Do you speak English?
Are you a student?
Have you ever been to New York City?
Can you help me with this problem?
May I ask you a question?
Must you finish the project tonight?
Who is the best player on the team?
What is the capital of France?
When is your birthday?
Where do you live?
Why are you late?
How do you make this dish?
It's a nice day, isn't it?
You don't like spicy food, do you?。
