1:当陈述部分的主语是 everybody , everyone, someone , no one , nobody , somebody 等指人的合成词时,反意疑问句中的主语在正式语体中通常用 he .

eg:

Everybody knows what he has to do ,doesn't he ?

Nobody wants to go there ,does he ?

None of the boys can do it ,can he ?

在非正式语体中则往往用 they .

eg:

Nobody phoned while i was out ,did they ?

Everyone enjoyed the party ,didn't they ?

Somebody borrowed my pen yesterday ,didn't they ?

但若陈述部分的主语是 everything , anything , something , nothing 等指物的合成词时,反意疑问句的主语只能用 it .

eg:

Nothing could make me give it up ,could it ?

Everything is ready ,isn't it ?

2:当陈述部分是 there-存在句时,反意疑问句的主语也用 there .

eg:

There's no help for it ,is there ?

There 's something wrong ,isn't there ?

3:陈述部分带有 seldom, hardly ,never , rarely , few , little ,nowhere ,nothing 等否定词或半否定词时,反意疑问句的动词用肯定形式。

eg:

Bob rarely got drunk ,did he ?

Few people know him ,do they ?

She seldom goes to the cinema,does she ?

如果陈述部分的否定词仅带有否定前缀,那么,该陈述部分作肯定句处理,反意疑问句一般仍用否定形式。

eg:

He was unsuccessful ,wasn't he ?

4:如果陈述部分是 I'm......结构, 反意疑问句一般用 aren't I.

eg:

I'm late ,aren't I ?

5:当陈述部分是一个带有 that-分句作宾语的主从结构时,反意疑问句一般应与主句的主语和谓语动词保持对应关系。

eg:

You think you are funny ,don't you ?

He thinks he is going to become a doctor ,doesn't he ?

She says that i did it ,doesn't she ?

但是,当陈述部分的主句是 I suppose , i think , i believe , i suspect , i imagine 等结构时,反意疑问句部分往往与 that-分句中的主语和谓语动词保持对应关系,但要注意否定的转移。

eg:

I suppose (that)he's serious ,isn't he ?

I don't think (that)she cares ,does she ?

6:如果陈述部分以不定代词 one作主语,反意疑问句的主语在正式场合用 one,在非正式场合用you .

eg:

One can't be too careful ,can one ?

One can't be too careful ,can you ?
