Unit9：語法點(diǎn)講解
But you miss teaching yoga, don’t you?
反義疑問句
反義疑問句是加在一句陳述句后的兩個單詞。反義疑問句給予另一方回應(yīng)的機(jī)會。盡管使用不同的單詞，但反義疑問句都表示，你同意嗎?我正確嗎?
反義疑問句有肯定式和否定式。肯定句后用否定式，否定句后用肯定式。
肯定句的反義疑問句，助動詞的否定形式+主語(代詞)。
例：Jane has already seen the movie, hasn’t she?
簡已經(jīng)看過了這部電影，是嗎?
否定句的反義疑問句，助動詞的肯定形式+主語(代詞)。
例：He isn’t interested, is he?
他不感興趣，對嗎?
句子里沒有助動詞時(shí)，用do,does,did。
例：They don’t have a car, do they?
他們沒車，對嗎?
反義疑問句可以用在過去時(shí)，現(xiàn)在時(shí)和將來時(shí)，所以要注意前后時(shí)態(tài)的匹配。
例：They will be there, won’t they?
他們會回來的，是嗎?
