疑问形式主要有四种:
1. 一般疑问形式:陈述语气的各种句型都可改变语序而成为一般疑问句,如果句中有 be,
have 或助动词,则直接把 be, have 或助动词提到主语之前;如没有 be, have 或助
动词,则在主语之前加上 do / does / did 构成,谓语动词用原形,如:
He is a doctor. Is he a doctor?
They work very hard. Do they work very hard?
2. 特殊疑问形式:一般以疑问词(疑问代词或疑问副词)开始,其语序有两种:
a. 对主语或主语修饰语提问时,与陈述句的语序相同,如:
She is a teacher. Who is a teacher?
Many children are playing there. How many
children are playing there?
b. 对主语和主语修饰语以外的其它成分提问时,用倒装语序,即"疑问词+一般疑问句"语序,如:
He is a lawyer. What is he?
He studies English. What does he
study?
3. 选择疑问形式:既可用一般问句,也可用特殊疑问形式。它总含有 or 连接的并列结构,
朗读时 or 前用升调,句末用降调,如:
Shall we walk there or go there by bus?
Are you ready or not?
Where shall we meet, at the school gate or
at the station?
4. 附加疑问形式:主要有以下几种情况:
a. 肯定的陈述句+否定的附加问句,如:
She told you the news, didn't she?
b. 否定的陈述句+肯定的附加问句,如:
He doesn't like coffee, does he?
c. 祈使句后的附加问句中用 won't you 表示邀请;用 will you / would you /can you
/ can't you / could you 表示告诉对方该做什么事。在以 Let's 开头的句后,如果 us
包括听话人在内,附加部分用 shall we;不包括听话人在内,附加部分则用 will
you,如:
Do sit down, won't you?
Do me a favor, will you?
Let's go, shall we?
Let us have a look at your book, will you?
d. 若陈述部分的主语是 somebody, someone, everybody, everyone, anyone,
nobody 等词,其附加疑问句的主语在英国英语中常用 they,在美国英语中常用
he,如:
Anyone can do that, can't they?
(英国英语)
Anyone can do that, can't he? (美国英语)
e. 当陈述部分有 everything, nothing, this, that 时,疑问部分 主语常用 it,如:
Everything goes well, doesn't it?
That's wonderful, isn't it?
f. 当陈述部分有 seldom, hardly, never, few, little, nothing, too...
to 等否定词或否定
意思的结构时,附加部分用肯定形式,如:
There is little water left, is there?
He was too nervous to answer this question, was
he?
g. 若陈述部分的否定词是带有否定意义的前缀,那么附加部分仍用否定形式,如:
He was unhappy, wasn't he?
h. 当陈述部分有谓语动词 have 时,若 have 表示"有",附加疑问部分可用 have,
也可用 do;若不表示"有",则附加部分用do / does / did,如:
He has a dictionary, hasn't (doesn't)
he?
You had a good time, didn't you?
i. 陈述部分有 had better,附加部分用 hadn't;陈述部分有 would rather 或 would
like 时,附加部分用 wouldn't,如:
He'd like to go with you, wouldn't
he?
You'd better go now, hadn't you?
j. 当 must 表示"必须"时,疑问部分的谓语用mustn't;表示"推 测"时,疑问部
分的谓语应根据句意来选择其相应动词的助动词,如:
He must go home right now, mustn't he?
She must have waited here for a long time, hasn't
she?
He must be very happy, isn't he?
k. 若陈述部分是一个主从复合句,附加部分一般与主句的主谓语保持对应关系;若陈
述部分的主句是 I suppose, I think, I believe 等时,附加疑问部分应与从句主、谓
语保持一致;若陈述句是 I'm ... 时,附加疑问句通常用 aren't I?,正式文体中用
am I not?,如:
She says that I did it, doesn't she?
I don't think she cares, does she?
I am supposed to be here, aren't I (am
I not)?
