CÂU HỎI ĐUÔI

CÂU HỎI ĐUÔI Nếu câu trần thuật thể khẳng định, câu hỏi thể phủ định ngược lại Ví dụ: Your mother likes reading newspaper, doesn’t she? Your mother doesn’t like reading newspaper, does she? Một số trường hợp đặt biệt Đối với động từ "Am" Chúng ta không dùng “am not I” mà phải dùng “aren’t I” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: I am wrong, aren’t I? Đối với động từ khiếm khuyết "Must" Vì “must” có nhiều cách dùng nên tùy theo cách dùng sẽ có câu hỏi đuôi khác • Khi “must” chỉ sư cần thiết, ta dùng “needn’t” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: They must work hard, needn’t they? (Họ phải làm việc tích cưc hơn, khơng?) • Khi “must” chỉ sư cấm đoán, ta dùng must cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: You mustn’t come late, must you? (Anh không đến trễ, nghe chưa?) • Khi “must” chỉ sự dự đoán ở tại, ta dưa vào động từ theo sau “must” để chọn đợng từ cho thích hợp Ví dụ: She must be a very kind woman, isn’t she? (Bà ta một người phụ nữ tốt bụng, phải không?) • Khi “must” chỉ sự dự đoán ở quá khư (trong công thức “must + have + V3/ed), ta dùng have/has cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: You must have stolen my wallet, haven’t you? (Chị lấy cắp ví tiền tơi, khơng?) Đối với động từ "Have to" Với động từ “have/ has/ had to” ta dùng trợ đợng từ “do/ does/ did” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: She has to go home, doesn’t she? (Có phải cô cấy cần về nhà?) He had to go to school yesterday, didn’t he? (Hôm qua phải đến trường không?) Đối với động từ "Let" Khi “Let” đặt đầu câu, cứ vào ý nghĩa mà “let” truyền tải câu để chọn đợng từ phù hợp • “Let’s” câu gợi ý, rủ rê làm việc đó ta dùng “shall we?” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: Let’s go, shall we? (Ta thơi, phải không nào?) Let’s have buttered scones with strawberry jam for tea, shall we? (Chúng ta ăn bánh bơ nướng với mứt dâu tây uống trà thôi, phải khơng nào?) • “Let” câu xin phép (let us/let me) ta dùng “will you?” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: Let us use the telephone, will you? (Cho bọn sử dụng điện thoại, khơng?) Let me have some drink, will you? (Cho uống nước, khơng?) • "Let" [câu đề nghị] giúp người khác (let me), dùng "may I?" Ví dụ: Let me help you it, may I? (Để giúp cậu làm, chứ?) Đối với câu mệnh lệnh Câu mệnh lệnh dùng để diễn đạt ý muốn đó nghe theo lời khun • Diễn tả lời mời ta dùng “won't you” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: Drink some coffee, won’t you? (Mời bạn uống chút cà phê nhé?) • Diễn tả sự nhờ vả ta dùng “will you” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: Take it away now, will you? (Vứt dùm nhé?) • Diễn tả sự lệnh ta dùng “can/ could/ would you” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: Go out, can’t you? (Ra ngồi dùm tơi?) • Đối với câu mệnh lệnh phủ định chỉ dùng “will you” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: Don’t marry her, will you? (Con sẽ không cưới bé đó chứ?) Đối với câu có đại từ bất định người Khi chủ ngữ câu đại từ bất định chỉ người như: Anyone, anybody, no one, nobody, none, everybody, everyone, somebody, someone dùng đại từ “they” làm chủ từ câu hỏi Ví dụ: Someone had recognized him, hadn’t they? (Có người nhận hắn, phải không?) Tuy nhiên, chủ ngữ đại từ mang tính phủ định no one, nobody, none phần câu hỏi sẽ thể khẳng định Ví dụ: Nobody remembered my date of birth, did they? (Không nhớ ngày sinh hết, phải khơng) Đối với câu có đại từ bất định vật Khi chủ ngữ câu đại từ bất định chỉ vật như: Nothing, something, everything dùng đại từ “it” làm chủ từ câu hỏi Ví dụ: Everything is okay, isn’t it? (Mọi thứ đều tốt đẹp phải không?) Tuy nhiên, chủ ngữ đại từ mang tính phủ định nothing phần câu hỏi sẽ thể khẳng định Ví dụ: Nothing was said, was it? (Lúc đó khơng nói hết, phải khơng?) Đối với câu có chủ ngữ mang tính chất phủ định Những câu trần thuật có chứa các từ như: Neither, none, no one, nobody, nothing, scarcely, barely, hardly, hardly ever, seldom phần câu hỏi sẽ thể khẳng định Ví dụ: Peter hardly ever goes to parties, does he? (Peter không dư tiệc tùng, phải không?) Đối với câu cảm thán Khi mệnh đề mợt câu cảm thán, ta lấy danh từ câu đổi thành đại từ, đờng thời dùng đợng từ là: Is, are, am Ví dụ: What a beautiful day, isn’t it? (Một ngày thật đẹp, khơng?) 10 Đối với câu có chủ ngữ "One" Khi chủ ngữ mệnh đề “one”, câu hỏi đuôi dùng “you” hoặc “one” Ví dụ: One can be one’s master, can’t one/you? (Mỗi người đều có thể kiểm soát thân, không?) 11 Đối với câu có "used to" (đã từng) Khi câu đầu sử dụng động từ “used to” để diễn tả thói quen, hành động thường lặp lặp lại quá khứ, ta xem “used to” một động từ chia quá khứ Do đó câu hỏi đuôi tương ứng chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ “did” Ví dụ: She used to live here, didn’t she? (Cơ ta từng sống đây, không?) 12 Đối với câu có "Had better" Khi cầu đầu sử dụng động từ “had better”, ta mượn trợ động từ “had” để lập câu hỏi Ví dụ: He had better stay, hadn’t he? (Anh ta tốt nên nhà, khơng?) 13 Đối với câu có "Would rather" Khi cầu đầu sử dụng động từ “would rather”, ta mượn trợ động từ “would” để lập câu hỏi đuôi Ví dụ: You would rather go, wouldn’t you? (Bạn muốn phải không?) 14 Đối với cấu trúc "I think" Khi mệnh đề có cấu trúc: I + think/ believe/ suppose/ figure/ assume/ fancy/ imagine/ reckon/ expect/ see/ + mệnh đề phụ Ta dùng động từ mệnh đề phụ để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi đuôi Ví dụ: I think he will come here, won’t he? (Tôi nghĩ anh sẽ đến đây, không?) Lưu ý: • Dù “not” nằm mệnh đề chính, tính chất phủ định có ảnh hưởng đến câu nên vẫn tính mệnh đề phụ Ví dụ: I don’t believe Mary can it, can she? (Tôi không tin Mary có thể làm điều đó, không?) • • Cũng mẫu cấu trúc chủ từ khơng phải “I” dùng đợng từ câu (think/ believe/ suppose/…) để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: She thinks he will come, doesn’t she? (Cô nghĩ sẽ đến, không?) 15 Đối với câu điều ước Wish Khi mệnh đề dùng “wish”, ta dùng “may” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: I wish to meet the doctor, may I? (Tôi muốn gặp bác sĩ, chứ?) 16 Đối với mệnh đề danh từ Khi chủ ngữ một mệnh đề danh từ, ta dùng “it” cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: What you have said is wrong, isn’t it? (Điều bạn nói sai, không?) 17 Đối với chủ ngữ this/ that This/ that thay bằng it cho câu hỏi Ví dụ: This is your wife, isn’t it? (Đây vợ bạn phải không?)
