Grammar语法
negative question tags
In our dialogue today, we see a few examples of question tags. A question tag is a short phrase added to the end of a statement to turn it into a question or to seek confirmation from the listener. It's a way of checking if the speaker's assumption or statement is accurate and inviting a response.
在今天的对话中，我们会看到一些反义疑问句的例子。反义疑问句是加在陈述句后面的一个短句，用来把陈述句变成问句，或者寻求听者的确认。这是一种检查说话人的假设或陈述是否准确并征求回应的方法。
Question tags are made up of auxiliary verbs and pronouns, like "don't we" in the opening line of our dialogue. However, other auxiliary verbs can be used, depending on the original sentence. For example, "You are French, aren't you?" uses a "be" verb instead of "do".
反义疑问句是由助动词和代词组成的，比如我们对话开头的一句“我们不要”。但是，根据原句的不同，也可以使用其他助动词。例如，“你是法国人，不是吗?”用的是be动词而不是do。
Also, very importantly, the tag is negative because the sentence is positive. If the sentence was negative, then the tag would be positive. For example: "It's not expensive, is it?"
另外，很重要的一点是，这个反义疑问句是否定的，因为原句是肯定的。如果原句是否定的，那么疑问句就是肯定的。例如:“它不贵，是吗?”
For examples:
1. You have good news, don't you?
你有好消息，是吗？
2. This has been really enjoyable, hasn't it?
这真的很愉快，不是吗？
