1、當(dāng)陳述部分的主語是I,而句子又用來征詢對(duì)方的意見時(shí),附加疑問句中的主語用you。如:
I find English very interesting, don’t you?
I don’t like that film, do you?
2、當(dāng)陳述部分的主語是everybody, everyone, someone, nobody, no one, somebody等合成代詞時(shí),附加疑問句中的主語通常用they。但亦可用he,尤其是nobody, no one等作主語,具有否定概念時(shí)。如:
Somebody phoned while I was out, didn’t they?

This is important, isn’t it?
That isn’t correct, is it?
These are your friends Tom and Jack, aren’t they?
5、如果陳述部分是以代詞one作主語,附加疑問句中的主語在正式場(chǎng)合用one,非正式場(chǎng)合用you,在美國英語中,在非正式場(chǎng)合還可以用he。如:
One can’t be too careful, can one?或can you?
One should do his duty, shouldn’t he?
6、如果陳述部分用I’m…結(jié)構(gòu),附加疑問部分一般用aren’t I。如:
I am strong and healthy aren’t I。
7、當(dāng)陳述句為there be結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí),附加疑問句中的主語也用there。如:
There’s no help for it, is there?

如果陳述部分的否定詞帶有否定前綴,那么,該陳述部分作肯定處理,附加疑問部分一般仍用否定形式。如:

9、當(dāng)陳述部分為主從復(fù)合句時(shí),附加疑問部分一般應(yīng)與主句的主語和謂語動(dòng)詞保持對(duì)應(yīng)關(guān)系。如:
She says that I did it, doesn’t she?
I told them not everybody could do it ,didn’t I?
但當(dāng)陳述部分的主語是I,謂語是think, believe, suppose, expect這類動(dòng)詞時(shí),附加疑問部分則往往與從句中的主語和謂語動(dòng)詞保持對(duì)應(yīng)關(guān)系,但要注意否定的轉(zhuǎn)移。
I suppose that he’s serious isn’t he?
I don’t think she cares, does she?
10、當(dāng)陳述部分是并列句,附加疑問句則需和就近的分句的主語和謂語一致。如:
Xiao Lin has been writing letters all afternoon but he should finish them now, shouldn’t he?
11、在由“祈使句+附加疑問”構(gòu)成的附加疑問句中,附加疑問部分一般用will you, won’t you, would you,有時(shí)也可用can you, can’t you, why don’t you, could you等。如:

Give me some cigarettes, can you?
Take a rest, why don’t you?

You must work hard next term, mustn’t you?
I must answer the letter, mustn’t I?
但若表推測(cè)這層含義時(shí),不能用must,而要根據(jù)陳述部分的不定式結(jié)構(gòu)(即must之后的動(dòng)詞)以及含義采用相應(yīng)的動(dòng)詞形式。如:
You must have made a mistake, haven’t you?
They must have seen the film last week, didn’t they?
He must be in the library, isn’t he?
13、當(dāng)陳述部分含有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞used to時(shí),疑問部分可用 usedn’t或didn’t。如:

如:You’d better finish your homework now, hadn’t you?

What a clever boy, isn’t he?
What a lovely day, isn’t it?
17、陳述句子中的主語為動(dòng)詞不定式短語、動(dòng)名詞短語或其他短語時(shí),疑問部分的主語通常用it。如:
Learning how to repair motors takes a long time, doesn’t it?
Between six and seven will suit you, won’t it?
Where to hold the meeting has not been decided, has it?
18、在口語和非正式文體中,為了加強(qiáng)語氣,只是表示某種驚奇、懷疑、反感、諷刺等感情而并不是為了尋求回答,這時(shí)前后兩部分的肯定、否定是一致的。如:
Oh, he is a writer, is he?
You’ll not go, won’t you?
19、陳述句中的謂語動(dòng)詞是wish,表示愿望時(shí)用may,且用肯定形式。如:
I wish to have a chance to learn English, may I?
20、當(dāng)陳述部分帶有表示“所有”含義的動(dòng)詞have(has)時(shí),疑問部分既可用have形式,也可用do形式。如:
