三.聽短文回答問題

我們今天要聽的文章就是介紹什么是簡短反問句. 文章里除了談到人們在什 么場合用反問句, 還詳細說明了用這種反問句的幾個規則. 這些規則我剛才 已經用中文說明過了, 我們也按照規則作了不少練習, 現在請你聽聽英文說 明, 看看是不是聽得懂.

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

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.

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.

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.
