疑问句:一般疑问句与特殊疑问句

A1 Questions: yes/no & wh- 13 / 50

概要

构成疑问句,要把助动词(或 be)放到主语前面。大多数一般现在时和一般过去时的疑问句需要加上 do / does / did。wh- 疑问词(what、where、when……)放在句子最前面。

规则

疑问句主要有两种类型。

1. 一般疑问句的回答是 yes 或 no。需要把主语和助动词(或 be)倒装(互换位置)。

陈述句一般疑问句
You are ready.Are you ready?
She can swim.Can she swim?
You have finished.Have you finished?
They live here.Do they live here?

2. 特殊疑问句用来询问具体信息。结构是:疑问词 + 助动词 + 主语 + 实义动词。

疑问词助动词主语实义动词
Wheredoyoulive?
Whatisshedoing?
Whendidtheyarrive?

借助 do 构成否定和疑问:只有在一般现在时和一般过去时里才需要加 do / does / did。其他时态本身已经有助动词了(be、have、can、will……),只需要把它移到句首——不需要再加 do。

对主语提问的疑问句:当疑问词本身就是主语时(也就是你要问的那个东西/人自己发出这个动作),不用 do,词序和陈述句一样:疑问词 + 动词。

对主语提问的疑问句对宾语提问的疑问句
Who broke the window?Who did you see?
What happened?What did you do?
Which bus goes there?Which bus did you take?

形式与结构

简答里重复的是助动词或 be(绝不是实义动词)。

问题是否
Are you ready?Yes, I am.No, I’m not.
Does he work here?Yes, he does.No, he doesn’t.
Can she drive?Yes, she can.No, she can’t.
Did they win?Yes, they did.No, they didn’t.

否定疑问句把 n’t 和助动词连在一起,整体移到句首:Aren’t you ready?、Didn’t you see the sign?、Why hasn’t he replied? 两者要连在一起——不能写成 Did not you see the sign?

疑问词

词用来询问
what事物/动作
who人
where地点
when时间
why原因
which从一组中选择
whose所有者
how方式

how + 词

短语用来询问例句
how much不可数的数量/价格How much is it?
how many可数的数量How many brothers do you have?
how long持续时间How long does it take?
how often频率How often do you train?
how old年龄How old are you?
how far距离How far is the station?

带介词的疑问句:当疑问词代替的是介词的宾语时,这个介词保留在陈述句原来的位置——不会跟着疑问词一起移到句首。

陈述句问题
You paid for the tickets.What did you pay for?
She works with Tom.Who does she work with?
He arrived on the late train.Which train did he arrive on?

把介词提到句首(To whom did you speak?)也是正确的,但语体非常正式。

例句

English说明
Are you a student?一般疑问句搭配 be:把 are 移到主语前面。
Do they live near here?一般现在时需要 do + 动词原形。
Does she speak French?第三人称用 does;实义动词用原形(speak)。
Can you help me, please?情态动词 can 直接放到主语前面。
Where do you work?疑问词 + do + 主语 + 动词原形。
What is he reading?现在进行时本身已经有 is——不需要再加 do。
Who wants some tea?对主语提问:who 就是主语,所以不用 do,词序和陈述句一样。
How many people did you invite?how many + 对宾语提问,所以过去时用 did + 动词原形。

常见错误

  • Where you live? -> Where do you live?——一般现在时需要 do;助动词不能省略。
  • Does she works here? -> Does she work here?——does/did 后面的实义动词要用原形,而不是 -s。
  • What you are doing? -> What are you doing?——疑问词后面要把主语和 be 倒装。
  • Who did break the window? -> Who broke the window?——对主语提问时不用 do,用正常的动词形式。
  • Did you went home? -> Did you go home?——did 后面要用动词原形,而不是过去式。

学习提示

  • 助动词只有一条规则:如果句子里已经有 be / have / can / will,直接把它移到句首;如果没有,就加上 do / does / did。
  • do / does / did 后面的实义动词永远用原形(go,而不是 goes 或 went)。时态由助动词来体现。
  • 遇到对主语提问的疑问句,问自己:“这个疑问词是不是在发出这个动作?”如果是,保持正常词序,去掉 do。
  • 疑问词放在句首,但一般疑问句没有疑问词——它们以助动词或 be 开头。
