疑问句可分为:一般疑问句、特殊疑问句和反意疑问句.
一般疑问句是疑问句的一种.它是指用yes或no来回答的句子.其结构是:
系动词be/助动词/情态动词+主语+其他成分?
如:
Is this your pen?
Yes it is./No it isn't.
注意:
1.将陈述句变为一般疑问句时,如句中有be 动词(am is are …)时,可直接将它们提至主语前.如主语为第一人称,应将其改为第二人称.如:
I'm in Class 2Grade 1. →
Are you in Class 2Grade
We're watching TV. →
Are you watching TV?
2.陈述句中有情态动词(can may must …)时,也可直接将它们提至主语前,即可成为一般疑问句.如:
He can swim now. →
Can he swim now?
The children may come with us. → May the children come with us?
3.陈述句中只有一个实义动词作谓语且其时态为一般现在时,变为一般疑问句时要在句首加do或does 主语后的实义动词用原形.如:
I like these animals. →
Do you like these animals?
She wants to go to the movies. → Does she want to go to the movies?
4.一般疑问句一般读升调(↑)
5.一般疑问句有时不用yes或 no 回答.
Are they in town now?
I think so.
May I sit here?
Certainly.
Does he like soccer?
Sorry I don't know.
反意疑问句一般由/"陈述句+简略的一般疑问句/"构成,它主要有/"肯定陈述句+否定的简短问句(简称前肯后否)/"和/"否定陈述句+肯定的简短问句(简称前否后肯)/"两种结构.但在实际运用中,还有许多需要注意的情况,今天我们就来谈谈最常见的两种:
1.当陈述部分有few,little,hardly,never等表示否定含义的词时,附加问句部分要用肯定形式.例如:
He will never forget his past,will he?他决不会忘记他的过去,对吗?
There is no milk in the bottle,is there?瓶子里没有牛奶了,是不是?
注:如果陈述部分的否定词是通过加词缀 (前缀或后缀) 构成的,那么,附加问句部分仍用否定形式.例如:
That girl is unhappy,isn/'t she?那个女孩不高兴了,是不是?
The young man on the motorbike is too careless,isn/'t he?摩托车上的那个年轻人太粗心了,对吧?
2.当陈述部分是祈使句时,附加问句常用/"will you?/"也可用/"won/'t /would/can / can/'t you?/"等.例如:
Don/'t go to the park by bus,will you?别乘公共汽车去公园,好吗?
Close all the windows,will you / won/'t you?把所有的窗户都关上,好吗?
注:① let/'s 用于提出建议,包括听话人在内,其附加问句用/"shall we?/"例如:
Let/'s go to see the pandas first,shall we?咱们首先去看熊猫,好吗?
② let us表示征求对方许可,其附加问句用/"will you?/"例如:
Let us wait until 5:00,will you?让我们等到五点,好吗?
③ let后接第三人称时,附加问句用/"will you?/"例如:
Let him come in,will you?让他进来,好吗?
特殊疑问句以疑问词开头,对句中某一成分提问的句子叫特殊疑问句.常用的疑问词有:what who whose which when where how why等.
特殊疑问句有两种语序:
1.如疑问词作主语或主语的定语,即对主语或主语的定语提问,其语序是陈述句的语序:疑问词(+主语)+谓语动词+其他成分?如:
who is singing in the room?
whose bike is broken?
2.如疑问词作其他成分,即对其他成分提问,其语序是:疑问词+一般疑问句语序?如:
what class are you in?
What does she look like?
Where are you from?
What time does he get up every morning?
How do you know?
注意:
1.回答特殊疑问句时,不能用yes / no,即问什么答什么,尤其是简略回答.如:
Who is from Canada?
Helen (is).
Where's the restaurant?
Near the station.
Why do you like koalas?
Because they are cute.
2.特殊疑问句一般读降调(↓).
