    對反意疑問句的回答，無論問題的提法如何，如果事實是肯定的，就用yes，事實是否定的，就要用no。要特別注意陳述句部分是否定結構，反意疑問句部分用肯定式提問時，回答yes或no與漢語正好相反。這種省略回答的yes要譯成“不”，no要譯成“是”。

例：—He likes playing football, doesn't he? 他喜歡踢足球，是嗎？

—Yes, he does. / No, he doesn't. 是的。/ 不是。

—His sister didn't attend the meeting, did she? 他妹妹沒有參加會議，是嗎？

—Yes, she did. / No, she didn't. 不，她參加了。/ 是的，她沒參加。

1) 陳述部分的主語是I，疑問部分要用 aren't I.

I'm as tall as your sister，aren't I?

2) 陳述部分的謂語是wish，疑問部分要用may +主語。

I wish to have a word with you, may I?

3) 陳述部分用 no, nothing, nobody, never, few, seldom, hardly, rarely, little等否定含義的詞時，疑問部分用肯定含義。

13) 陳述部分主語是指示代詞或不定代詞everything, that, nothing, this, 疑問部分主語用it。

14)陳述部分為主語從句或并列復合句，疑問部分有三種情況：

a. 并列復合句疑問部分，謂語動詞根據鄰近從句的謂語而定。

b. 帶有定語從句，賓語從句的主從復合句，疑問部分謂語根據主句的謂語而定：

He is not the man who gave us a talk, is he?

He said he wanted to visit Japan, didn't he?

c. 上述部分主句謂語是think, believe, expect, suppose, imagine等引導的定語從句，疑問部分與賓語從句相對應構成反意疑問句。

I don't think he is bright, is he?

We believe she can do it better, can't she?

15) 陳述部分主語是不定代詞everybody, anyone, somebody, nobody, no one等，疑問部分常用復數they，有時也用單數he。

16) 帶情態動詞dare或need的反意疑問句，疑問部分常用 need (dare ) +主語。

There will not be any trouble, will there?

19) 否定前綴不能視為否定詞，其反意疑問句仍用否定形式。
