本句是一个反义疑问句，反义疑问句的特点是“前否后肯”或“前肯后
否”，而且后半句在
时态、人称和数等方面必须与前半句保持一致。
► You are my teacher’s friend, aren’t you?
你是我们老师的朋友，是吗？
► we can’t park our car here, can we?
我们不能把车停在这里，对吗？
►He likes eating zongzi, doesn’t he?

反义疑问句用法歌诀
反义问句要点三，前后谓语正相反；
附加问句not现， 必须缩写是习惯；
最后一点应注意，问句主语代词填。
反义疑问句的回答：
1)回答反义疑问句和回答其他一般疑问句的结构一样。
如果答语是肯定的，用“Yes +肯定结构”
如果答语是否定的，用“No +肯定结构”
►-- He enjoys dancing, doesn’t he?
他喜欢跳舞，对吗？
--Yes, he does. / No, he doesn’t.
是的，他喜欢。/不，他不喜欢。
2) 回答陈述部分为否定句的反义疑问句时，Yes或是No的汉语意思与它
们本身的词义相反。
►---You didn’t go to work, did you?
你没有去上班，对吗？
►--- Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t.
不，我上班了。/是的，我没上班。
3. What’s he like now? 他现在什么样子？
What +be +主语+like? 用来询问某人的外貌特征，意为“…长什么
样？”，相当于what do /does +主语+like?
►---What’s your brother like?=What does your brother look like?
你哥哥长什么样？
辨析：be like 和look like
be like: “像…一样”，常指品德、相貌等相像 更侧重人的个性特征。
► The twin sister are like their father.双胞胎很像他们的父亲。
look like: “看起来像…”常指外貌上相像。► I look like my mother. 我长得像我妈。
典例 —What’s Han Mei like?
—_________________.
A. She is a volunteer B. She studies very hard
C. She likes skating D. She is heavy but beautiful
【点拨】用语境分析法解题。be like 意为“什么样子”，用来询问相貌
或性格。
4. This party is such a great idea!
He used to be so shy and quiet.
such与so 辨析
such为adj.，意为“这（那）样的；主要修饰名词；
so是adv.，意为“这（那）么；如此地”，主要修饰形容词、副词和分
词。
e.g. Do you like such a movie?你喜欢这样的电影吗？
I’m so glad to see you.很高兴见到你。
He speaks English so well.他英语讲得那么好。
当名词前有many，much，few或little等词修饰时，要用so而不用such。
e.g. He has so many friends in China.他在中国有这么多朋友。
I have so much work to do today.我今天有这么多工作要做。
“such + a / an +形容词+可数名词单数 形式”相当于“so +形容词+a / an
+可数名词单数形式”，表示“如此……的一个……”。
e.g. Mrs Su has such a lovely girl. = Mrs Su has so lovely a girl.
苏太太有如此可爱的一个女儿。
选用such或so填空。
1. The man told us ____ funny a story.
2. She has _____ a beautiful dress.
3. How can you get ____ much money to buy the car?
4. Don’t go out in ______ cold weather.
5. Don’t eat _____ quickly.
6. The clothes in this store are ______ expensive. I can’t afford to buy them.
7. Bill is _____ a tall boy.
5. She was never brave enough to ask questions.
enough /ɪ'nʌf/ adj. 足够的 adv. 足够地；充分地
e.g. He isn’t old enough to go to school himself.
他还小，不能独自去上学。
Tina isn’t serious enough in class, so she can’t follow the teacher.
蒂娜上课不够认真，所以听不懂老师讲了什么。
—May I be allowed to choose a summer course?
—It’s up to you. You’re ____________ to make your own decision.
A. too old B. enough old C. old enough
【点拨】句意为“——我可以被允许选择一门暑期课程吗？——取决于
你自己，你年龄足够大了，可以自己做决定”。A 选项构成too... to... 结
构，意为太大了不能自己做决定，不符合逻辑，enough old 表达形式不
对，enough 修饰形容词，需放在形容词之后。
