must的反意疑问句
如果陈述部分含有表推测的情态动词must,其反问部分不能用情态动词,
应根据具体情况而定。
A.must表示“应该”,其疑问部分用mustn't(不应该),如:
You must work hard next term, mustn't you ?
下学期你应该努力学习,对吗?
B.must表示“必须”,其疑问部分用needn't(不必),如:
We must go at once, needn't we?
我们必须立刻走,是吗?
C.must表示推测,其疑问部分必须与must 后面的主要动词相呼应。如:
1)对现在动作或存在的情况的推测:
You must know the answer to the exercise, don't you?
你一定知道这项练习的答案,是不是?
That must be your bed, isn't it? 那一定是你的床,是吗?
2)对过去发生的动作或存在的情况的推测:
①表示肯定
You must have left your bag in the theatre, haven't you?
你一定是把包落在剧场了,是不是?
Aunt Liu must have got to the U.S.A. yesterday, didn't she?
刘大婶昨天准是到了美国了,对不?
②表示否定
表示推测时,否定式通常不是must not,而是can't (cannot).如:
He can't have been to your home; he doesn't know your address, does he?
他不可能去过你家;他不知道你的地址,是不是?
D.陈述部分含情态动词mustn't,表示禁止时,附加疑问部分就可以用must或may,如:
We mustn't be late, must we?(may we?)
我们不可以迟到,是吗?
need
带情态动词need的反意疑问句,疑问部分常用 need +主语。
We need not do it again, need we ?
当 need 为实义动词时,疑问部分用助动词do + 主语。
She doesn't need to go home alone, does she?
need是指需要,在疑问句里一般是征求意见是否有必要做某事
may在问句里是得到许可,是否能够做
例句里可以回答no you may not.也可以说no you can't.
must是必须,也就是问是否一定要做某事
所有这些词都是情态动词,后面都要跟动词原型。must/can/may/need/should/shall
从前到后语气依次减弱,看使用时的语境语气如何。musn`t/can`t
是禁止的意思,“一定不能”
