反意疑问句在以往的高考题中多次出现，是高考常考的语法项目之一。下面就含复合句的反意疑问句的情况分析如下：

一、如果陈述部分是主从复合句，一般情况下，疑问部分与主句一致。例如：

1．If you had come yesterday ，you might have seen him ，mightn’t you？

2．If you need help，let me know，will you？

3．When the teacher speaks，we have to keep quiet，don’t we？

4．He never told us why he was late，did he？

但在有的主从复合句中，如果主语是第一人称，且谓语是一般现在时，疑问部分则与从句保持一致才使整个句子协调，这主要由句子的重心决定。例如：

1．I want to do nothing，because there is little point in doing anything about it，is there？

2．I’m told they will come to join us，won’t they？

3．I know you didn’t want to hurt me，did you？

4．I’m sure that the teacher’s told you about me，hasn’t he？

二、在含有宾语从句的主从复合句中，附加问句一般与主句一致。例如：

1．She says I did it，doesn’t she？

2．She told me that she had finished the task，didn’t she？

但是若主句谓语为suppose，think，believe，guess，imagine，expect等，主语是第一人称，这时，疑问部分与从句保持一致，并注意否定转移。例如：

1．I don’t think he will get there on time，will he？

2．I expect you will have a good time there，won’t you？

3．I suppose he is serious，isn’t he？

但如果主语是第二、三人称，则疑问部分与主句一致，且不存在否定转移。例如：

1．You don’t think we can speak English，do you？

2．He thinks he’s got the right answer，doesn’t he？

三、陈述部分是由and，or，for，but等引起的并列结构，则疑问部分与第二个句子一致。例如：

1．We muststudy hard，or we shall fail，shan’t we？

2．He studies hard and he is th best one in his class，isn’t he？

3．He tried hard，but he wasn’t successful，was he？

4．John isn’t a diligent student，for this is the third time that he has been late，isn’t it？

四、如果陈述部分含有主语从句，则疑问部分用“it”。例如：

1．That he has lost his watch is not true，is it？

2．It is the third time that John has been late，isn’t it？

五、在含有定语从句的主从复合句中，附加问句应根据主句的谓语而定。例如：

1．He is not the man who gave us a talk，is he？

2．He knows the player who has won four gold medals，doesn’t he？

二、附加疑问句特例集锦

1．当陈述部分的主语是I，而句子又用来征询对方的意见时，附加疑问句中的主语用you。如：

I find English very interesting, don’t you?

I don’t like that film, do you?

2．当陈述部分的主语是everybody, everyone, someone, nobody, no one, somebody等合成代词时，附加疑问句中的主语通常用they。但亦可用he，尤其是nobody, no one等作主语，具有否定概念时。如：

Somebody phoned while I was out, didn’t they?

Everyone enjoyed the party, didn’t they?

Nobody wants to go there, does he?

3．当陈述部分的主语是不定代词everything, nothing, anything, something时，附加疑问句中的主语一般用it，不用they。如：

Everything seems all right now, doesn’t it?

Nothing is kept in good order, is it?

Something must be done to stop pollution, isn’t it?

4.当陈述部分的主语是指示代词this, that或these, those时，附加疑问句中的主语分别用it和they。如：

This is important, isn’t it?

That isn’t correct, is it?

These are your friends Tom and Jack, aren’t they?

5.如果陈述部分是以代词one作主语，附加疑问句中的主语在正式场合用one，非正式场合用you,在美国英语中，在非正式场合还可以用he。如：

One can’t be too careful, can one?或can you?

One should do his duty, shouldn’t he?

6．如果陈述部分用I’m…结构，附加疑问部分一般用aren’t I。如：

I am strong and healthy aren’t I。

7．当陈述句为there be结构时，附加疑问句中的主语也用there。如：

There’s no help for it, is there?

There’s something wrong, isn’t there?

8．陈述部分带有seldom, hardly, never, rarely, few, little,nowhere, nothing等否定词或半否定词时，附加疑问部分的动词用肯定形式。如：

Bob rarely got drunk, did he?

Few people know him, do they?

She seldom goes to the cinema, does she?

如果陈述部分的否定词带有否定前缀，那么，该陈述部分作肯定处理，附加疑问部
