反义疑问句特殊用法总结

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, anybody, anyone, none, neither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：

Everyone is here, aren’t they?

No one knows about it, do they?

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，反意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?

Something is wrong with my radio, 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?

This is a plane, isn't it?

These are grapes，aren't they?

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 should be ready to help others, shouldn't one?

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/ain’t I/am I not。如：

I am strong and healthy, aren’t I.

I am working now, ain’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, not, no, no one, nobody, none, neither, never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?

He is never late for school, is he?

She seldom goes to the cinema, does she?

You got nothing from him, did you?

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，附加疑问部分一般仍用否定形式。如：

He was unsuccessful, wasn’t he?

Tom dislikes the book, doesn’t he?

It is unfair, isn't it?

9．当陈述部分为主从复合句时，附加疑问部分一般应与主句的主语和谓语动词保持对应关系。如：

She says that I did it, doesn’t she?

I told them not everybody could do it ,didn’t I?

但当陈述部分的主语是I，谓语是think, believe, suppose, expect这类动词时，附加疑问部分则往往与从句中的主语和谓语动词保持对应关系，但要注意否定的转移。

I suppose that he’s serious，isn’t he?

I don’t think she cares, does she?

10．当陈述部分是并列句，附加疑问句则需和就近的分句的主语和谓语一致。如：

Xiao Lin has been writing letters all afternoon but he should finish them now, shouldn’t he?

11．在由“祈使句+附加疑问”构成的附加疑问句中，附加疑问部分

一般用will you, won’t you, would you,有时也可用can you, can’t you, why don’t you, could you等。用will you 多表示“请求”，用won't you 多表示提醒对方注意。如：

Look at the blackboard, will you/won't you?

Don’t open the door, will you?

Give me some cigarettes, can you?

Take a rest, why don’t you?

但是，以let’s开头的祈使句，附加疑问部分用shall we或shan't we;以let us开头的祈使句，如果含义是allow us，不包括听话人在内，疑问部分用will you。如：

Let’ s go home, shall we/shan't we?

Let’ s have a basketball match this afternoon, shall we?

Let us go out for a rest, will you?

12．当陈述部分带有情态动词must表示“必须”时，疑问部分用mustn’t。如：

You must work hard next term, mustn’t you?

I must answer the letter, mustn’t I?

但若表推测这层含义时，不能用must，而要根据陈述部分的不定式结构（即must之后的动词）以及含义采用相应的动词形式。must + have + done 是对过去情况的推测，当陈述部分没有明确的表示过去的时间状语时，附加疑问要用have的相应形式；当陈述部分有明确的过去时间状语时，附加疑问要用过去时。如：
