好久沒發文了，最近太笨了，剛好又比較忙。希望能多發一點廢文啊！

影片有錯誤的地方，練習一的第三題應該是 is it，第五題應該是 do we ，不好意思。

Tag Questions 附加問句                                      來源： Grammar Express, Longman

1

我們通常用附加問句來核對我們認為是對的資訊或對一個狀況下評論

John lives in Taipei, doesn’t he?

It’s a nice day, isn’t it?

2

附加問句有一個直述句跟一個附加部分。直述句表達了假設，而附加部分則是問對嗎？

a 假如直述句的動詞是肯定的，附加問句的動詞會是否定的。

b 假如直述句的動詞是否定的，附加問句的動詞會是肯定的。

You’re from Taipei, aren’t you?

You’re not from Taichung, are you?

You speak English, don’t you?

You don’t speak Korean, do you?

3

附加問句部分永遠是 be 動詞或助動詞(be, have, do, will, 或情態助動詞比方說 can, could, should)

特別注意 I am 的附加問句是 aren’t I 。另外附加問句裡一定只用代名詞。當直述句的主詞是 this 或 that 時，附加問句的主詞用 it。

It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?

You’ve lived here for a long time, haven’t you?

You come from Taiwan, don’t you?

You can swim, can’t you?

I’m next, aren’t I?

John works here, doesn’t he?

That’s a good idea, isn’t it?

當你用附加問句來核對資訊或評論一個狀況時，你的語調會是下降。你期待你的聽眾同意或表現出他們正在聆聽。

A: It’s getting warmer, isn’t it?

B: Yeah. It seems more like summer.

附加問句也可以用來得到資訊。當你的聲音在最後上揚時，表示你期待一個答案。

A: You’re not moving, are you?

B: Yes. We’re returning to Tainan. or No, we’re staying here.
