二.简短反问句

(来源：英语麦当劳 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

听了上面的句子, 你对简短反问句的用法或许已经有些概念. 简单地说这种反 问句有三个规则, 第一点就是当前面的陈述句是肯定的时候, 反问句就是否定 的; 而前面的陈述句是否定的时候, 反问句就是肯定的; 第二点就是这种简短 反问句是用两个字构成的, 第一个字一定是在前面陈述句里出现的动词或是 助动词; 第二个字一定是代名词而且指的就是陈述句里的主语; 第三点就是 反问句和前面陈述句的时态必须一致. (来源：英语e问e答 http://ask.englishcn.com)

好了, 现在我们按照规则作练习, 第一组练习是用 is 或是 are 作否定的简短反 问句, 请你注意在否定反问句里动词或是助动词一定要跟 not 连起来说, 比方 is not 说成 isn't, were not 说成 weren't 等等. 现在请你注意听男老师念一些跟 刚才那段对话有关系的句子, 然后跟着女老师把句子重复一遍.

三.听短文回答问题

我们今天要听的文章就是介绍什么是简短反问句. 文章里除了谈到人们在什 么场合用反问句, 还详细说明了用这种反问句的几个规则. 这些规则我刚才 已经用中文说明过了, 我们也按照规则作了不少练习, 现在请你听听英文说 明, 看看是不是听得懂. (来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)

Tag questions are commonly used in conversations by American English speakers.

(来源：英语电影下载 http://bt.englishcn.com)

Tag questions are short questions which are added to the end of statements. A person uses a tag question because he isn't sure of what he has said. He adds a tag question to his statement to make the listener talk. The listener may agree with the speaker or he may correct the speaker. (来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

Tag questions have two words. The first word is always a helping verb such as "is" or "does". The helping verb of a tag question must be the same tense as the tense of the main statement. All helping verbs can be used in a tag question. They may be positive or they may be negative contractions with "n't". The second word of a tag question is always a pronoun. The pronoun stands for the subject of the main statement. A name is never repeated in a tag question. (来源：英语学习门户网站EnglishCN.com)

Most languages have expressions like tag questions. But English tag questions are more difficult than those of other languages. Each tag question must agree in tense and subject with its preceding statement. However, when the statement is positive, the tag question must be negative; and when the statement is negative, the tag question must be positive. Tag questions in English are very difficult indeed.

刚才那篇文章你要是没有全听懂, 等一会儿还有机会听, 现在我们先来听今天 测验的三个问题. (来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)
