重点语法
反义疑问句
反义疑问句遵循这样一个原则，前肯定后否定，前否定后肯定。
01、肯定陈述句+否定提问 ，如：
Lily is a student，isn't she?
02、否定陈述句+肯定提问， 如：
She doesn't come from China，does she?
03、提问部分用代词而不用名词 ，如：
Lily is a student，isn't she?
04、陈述句中含有否定意义的词 如：little，few，never，nothing，hardly等，其反意疑问句用肯定式(重视这一点)。
what 、who 、whose 、which 、when 、where 、how 、why等。重点单词解释：why |waɪ| used in questions to ask the reason for or purpose of sth （用于问句）为什么，为何 例句：Why were you late?你为什。
He knows little English，does he?
他一点也不懂英语，不是吗?
不应该那么说，两种说法都不对，应该说Why don't you say?或者Why not say?一般这样说比较生硬，聊天时可用Why not go on?
They hardly understood it，did they?
他们几乎不明白，不是吗?
05、反意疑问句的陈述部分含有由un-，im-，in-，dis-，等否定意义的前缀构成的词语时，陈述部分要视为肯定含义，问句部分用否定形式。
Your father is unhappy，isn't he?
The man is dishonest，isn't he?

remembering more words，isn't it?
