4页附加疑问句特例附加疑问句是英语中常用的句型,它主要由“陈述句+附加疑问句”构成我们在学习附加疑问句的时候,除了掌握其一般规律外,还应该了解以下一些特殊情况1.当陈述部分主语是I,谓语动词为am时,附加疑问句部分通常用aren’t I (还可用ain’t I或 am I not)如:I am very dirty, aren’t I?2.如果陈述部分以不定代词one作主语,附加疑问部分的主语在正式场合用one,在非正式场合用you, 美国英语习惯用he 如:One can’t be too careful, can one? / can you?One should not praise oneself, should he?3. 当陈述部分的主语是everybody, everyone, someone, somebody,none, nobody, anyone, anybody等指人的不定代词时,附加疑问部分的主语在正式文体中通常用he, 如:Everybody knows where he has to go, doesn’t he?Nobody likes to lose money, does he?None can do it, can he?在非正式语体中则往往用they, 如:Nobody says a word about the incident, do they?Everyone has been told what to do, haven’t they?Somebody borrowed my dictionary yesterday, didn’t they?但是,当anyone, everybody等作主语,而上下文已出现先行对应的单数代词时,附加疑问部分的主语则必须用其相应的单数代词。
如:If anybody comes here, he will be welcome, won’t he?Someone came into the restaurant and ordered her meal, didn’t she?另外,若陈述部分的主语是everything, anything, something, nothing等指物的不定代词时,附加疑问部分的主语必须用it如:Nothing he did was right, was it?Everything seems all right, doesn’t it?Something is wrong with my watch, isn’t it?4. 若陈述部分的主语是指示代词this和that或不定式短语、动名词及从句时,附加疑问部分的主语必须用it;若为these和those时,则要用they如:This is your pen, isn’t it?Packing the suitcase has taken up a whole morning, hasn’t it?Whether they will come or not doesn’t matter too much, does it?Those don’t work well, do they?5. 当陈述部分带有seldom, hardly, never, rarely, few, little, nowhere, nothing, scarcely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:He never dared to go, did he?Few people like the doctor, do they?She seldom showed her feeling, did she?He can hardly write, can he?如果陈述部分带有un-, dis-, im-等否定词缀的词时,那么该陈述部分作肯定句处理,附加疑问部分一般仍用否定形式如:She was unsuccessful, wasn’t she?It’s unfair, isn’t it?6. 当陈述部分带有表示“拥有”含义的动词have时,附加疑问部分既可以用have形式,也可以用do形式如果陈述部分的动词是have的否定形式,附加疑问部分用have形式还是do形式,取决于陈述部分的动词形式如:You have a new bike, haven’t you?/ don’t you?She hasn’t lot of time to rest, has she?Tim doesn’t have any money in his pocket, does he?当陈述部分的have不表示“拥有”而表示其它含义时,附加疑问部分须用do的相应形式。
如:You often have headaches, don’t you?They had a good time yesterday, didn’t they?7. 当陈述部分带有情态动词ought to时,附加疑问部分在英国英语中仍用ought,但在美国英语中常用should如:Tom ought to study hard, oughtn’t he?We ought to go by plane, shouldn’t we?当陈述部分带有情态动词used to时,附加疑问部分可用used形式或did形式如:He used to come on Sunday, didn’t he?The Blacks used to live in the country, usedn’t they?当陈述部分带有情态动词needn’t时,附加疑问部分通常仍用need,有时也可以用must如:You needn’t go yet, need you?She needn’t do that, must she?当陈述部分带有情态动词must时,附加疑问部分通常仍用must如:You must study hard next term, mustn’t you?We mustn’t walk on grass, must we?若must作“有必要”解,附加疑问部分也可以用needn’t。
如:You must go to school right now, needn’t you?当must表示“一定”、“想必”等推测性意义时,附加疑问部分间或也可以根据上下文采用其它动词如:She must be in the room, isn’t she?(She must be in the room= I’m sure she is in the room.)分析:句中must be是对现在情况进行推测,可当作一般现在时来处理He must be playing football on the playground, isn’t he?(He must be playing football= I’m sure he is playing football.)分析:句中must be是对现在情况进行推测,可当作现在进行时来处理He must have waited here for a long time, hasn’t he?(He msut have waited… =I’m sure he has waited…)分析:句中must+完成时表示推测过去情况中的动作持续到现在,这时就可以按照现在完成时来对待。
You must have seen the film last week, didn’t you?(You must have seen… = I’m sure you saw…)分析:句中must+完成式表示对过去情况的推测,可以作为一般过去时来处理当陈述部分带有dare, need, had better, would rather等情态动词时,附加疑问部分就要用这些情态动词Had better有时也可以用shouldn’t如:You daren’t play with us, dare you?You had better come tomorrow, hadn’t you?You had better have a rest, shouldn’t you?You’d rather work than play, wouldn’t you?但是当dare, need作实义动词时,附加疑问部分就要用do如:She doesn’t dare to touch the snake, does she?8.当陈述部分的行为动词是表示愿望的wish时,附加疑问部分用may,而且前后两部分都用肯定形式。
如:I wish to go home now, may I?9.当陈述部分是there be句型时,附加疑问部分没有语法上的主语There’s an apple on the table, isn’t there?There isn’t anyone at home, is there?当陈述部分以副词there引导时,则根据主语的单复数选择相应的代词形式作附加疑问部分的主语如:There goes the bell, doesn’t it?There stand some statues in front of the buiding, don’t they?10. 当陈述部分是一个带有that分句作宾语的主从结构时,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:You think you are funny, don’t you?She thinks she is going to become an actor, doesn’t she?He says I did it, doesn’t he?但是,当陈述部分的主句是I suppose, I believe, I suspect, I imagine, I think, I guess等结构时,附加疑问部分往往与that分句的主语和谓语动词保持对应关系,但要注意否定的转移。
如:I think they have left for Shanghai, haven’t they?I don’t think she will come tomorrow, will she?11.当陈述部分的主语是I,附加疑问部分表示的意思相当于一个句子时,附加疑问部分的主语用you如:I don’t care much for him, do you?(do you= how about you)12. 陈述部分如果是并列句,附加疑问部分的主谓语应与临近分句的主谓语保持一致如:We must study English hard or we can’t be good at it, can we?Mike speaks English, but his wife speaks Chinese, doesn’t she?陈述部分如果是主从复合句,附加疑问部分的主谓语应与主句的主谓语保持一致如:You needn’t do that when your servant is here, need you?She was talking to the girl whose father was the manager, wasn’t she?13. 当陈述部分的宾语具有否定意义时,附加疑问部分既可以用肯定形式,也可以用否定形式。
