1.疑問句的定義
疑問句的主要交際功能是提出問題,詢問情況。分為一般疑問句、選擇疑問句、特殊疑問句和反意疑問句。
2. 一般疑問句
一般疑問句通常用來詢問一件事情是否屬實。答句通常是"yes或no"。所以一般疑問句又稱作"是非問句"。
一、由肯定的陳述句轉化的一般疑問句。
Have you been living here? 你一直住在這兒嗎?
Do you speak English? 你講英語嗎?
二、 否定的一般疑問句。
Can't he drive? 他不是會開車嗎?
Can he not drive? 他不會開車嗎?
Isn't Kate a student? 凱特難道不是學生嗎?
Is Kate not a student? 凱特不是學生嗎?
Hasn't the rain stopped yet? 難道雨還沒有停嗎?
Has the rain stopped yet? 雨還沒停嗎?
三、回答否定形式的一般疑問句的注意事項:
Isn't she very intelligent? 她難道不是很聰明嗎?
Yes, she is. 是的,她很聰明。
Is he not a student? 他不是學生嗎?
Yes, he is. 不,他是學生。(錯誤的答語:No, he is.)
小竅門:在回答的時候,只要把它當成沒有加以否定形式的普通一般疑問句一樣看待。
3. 選擇疑問句
選擇疑問句提出兩個或兩個以上可能的答案供對方選擇。這類疑問句由兩部分組成:(一般疑問句)供選擇的第一個部分 + 供選擇的另一個部分 + ?
Do you like to play football or basketball? 你喜歡踢足球還是打籃球?
Shall we walk, or shall we go by bus? 咱們步行去,還是乘公共汽車去?
注意:有的選擇疑問句不能用"yes或no"回答。如:
Are you male or female? 你是男性還是女性?這時是不可能用"yes或no"回答的。
但是,以下則例外。
Shall we walk, or shall we go by bus? 咱們步行去,還是乘公共汽車去?
No, we shall go by taxi. 不,我們要打的。
4. 特殊疑問句
