初中英语语法:句子的种类-疑问句

分类: 英语学习方法 

疑问句(Interrogative Sentence)

定义:表达疑问(亦即发问)或请求的句子叫做疑问句。例:

Is he a friend of your brother’s?
(他是你哥哥的朋友吗?——发问)
Can you do this for me?
(你能替我做这件事吗?——请求)

疑问句的句末必须使用问号(Question mark)“?”来标示问句的结束。

疑问句可再分为一般疑问(General question)和特殊疑问(Special question)两种。

(a)一般疑问:用be或助动词置于句首,并以“Yes,…”,或“No,…”回答的问句称为一般疑问(也称Yes-no questions)。

①be 或 have(有)置于句首来表达疑问,例:
Am I wrong again? (我又错了?)
Yes, you are (wrong again). (是的,你又错了。)
No, you aren’t. (不,你没错。)

Is it your bicycle? (这辆自行车是你的吗?)
Yes, it is. (是的,是我的。)
No, it isn’t. (不,那不是我的。)

Were there many people at her birthday party?
(她的生日宴会来了很多人吗?)
Yes, there were. (是的,来了很多人。)
No, there weren’t. (没有,没有很多人。)

Have you money with you? (你身上带钱了吗?)
(=Do you have money with you?—美语) 
Yes, I have.(Yes, I do.—美语)(有,我带钱了。)
No, I have no money with me. (No, I don’t.—美语)(没有,我没带钱。)

②助动词置于句首来表达疑问,例:
Shall I call a taxi for you ? (需要我替你叫一辆出租车吗?)
Yes, please. Thank you. (好的,谢谢你。)
No, thank you.(不必了,谢谢你。)

Will you do that for her? (你愿意替她做那件事吗?)
Yes, I will.(是的,我愿意。)
No, I won’t.(不,我不愿意。)

Can she drive? (她会开车吗?)
Yes, she can.(是的,她会。)
No, she can’t.(不,她不会。)

③一般动词则使用“do”来表达疑问,例:
Do you speak Japanese? (你会说日语吗?)
Yes, I do.(是的,我会说。)
No, I don’t.(不,我不会说。)

Does she swim very well?(她游泳游得好吗?)
Yes, she does. She is a good swimmer.
(是的,她游得好。她是游泳高手。)
No, she doesn’t. She doesn’t swim at all.
(不,她不会。她根本不会游泳。)

Did you tell her the truth? (你向她说了实话吗?)
Yes, I did.(是的,我说了。)
No, I didn’t.(不,我没说。)

Don’t you like to have a cup of coffee?
(你不喜欢喝一杯咖啡吗?)
Yes, I do.(要,我要一杯。)
No, I don’t. Thank you. (不,我不要。谢谢你。)

注:依循否定疑问要表达否定答案时,中文的习惯是“是的,……不……(或没有……)”,但是英语应为“No, …not.”,不可如中文说成“Yes,…not.”。

(b)特殊疑问(Wh-questions):使用疑问词(what,who,which,how,why,when,where,etc.)发问,不能用“Yes,…”或“No,…”回答的问句叫做特殊疑问句(也称Wh-questions)。例:

What is that in your hand?
(你手里拿的是什么?)
It’s a brooch, a present from my elder brother.
(是胸针,是我哥哥送我的礼物。)

Who is the young lady sitting beside your mother?
(坐在你母亲旁边的那位年轻女士是谁?)
She is my aunt on my mother’s side.
(她是我的姨妈。)

Which do you like to have, tea or coffee.
(你要哪一种,茶还是咖啡?)
Coffee, please.
(请给我咖啡。)

How often do you have you English class in a week?
(你的英语课一星期有几次?)
Four periods a week.
(每星期有四节课。)

(c)疑问句的音调:

疑问句的基本而正常的音调如下:

①一般疑问: 一般疑问句要用升调,大多数人都知道这一点。但是,大多数学生在用升调时,会从句子的第一个单词一直向上升,直到最后一个单词,而此时的音已经高到了极点,听起来有点吓人。要注意的是,一般疑问句的升调表现在句子的最后一个单词上。而且,最重要的是,升音不是从这从这个单词的第一个音节开始,而是到了单词的最后一两个音节时才会突然地陡升上去。学习者往往会忽视这一点。以至于他们说的英语听起来极不自然。 例:

Do you have questions? ↗
Have you ever been to China before? ↗
Don’t you think it a good idea? ↗

②特殊疑问: 特殊疑问句在通常情况下使用降调,但也不是一味地从头降到尾,在这里还要注意:起调时,特殊疑问句的音调较高,遇到助动词时弱读,并且将音调降下来,然后逐渐提高,一般在句子的最后一个单词重重地降下来。例:
What can I do for you?
Who’s the girl over there? 
When did it happen?
How much does it cost?
Which color do you prefer?
