LnR 028 Negative Questions
Negative questions are used when you expect the answer to be "no" (like in questions 1 and 3, for example), or when you hope that the answer won't be "no" (like in questions 6 and 7). They can also be used to guess some information, like in question 2. When you answer a negative question, you need to say "yes" or "no", then use a pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, they, we) and then the correct verb form from the question.
1. You don't have a brother, do you? No, I don't. Yes, I do.
2. You aren't from Austria, are you? No, I'm not. Yes, I am.
3. You haven't gone to the bank yet, have you? No, I haven't. Yes, I have.
4. Class, you didn't forget that we had a quiz today, did you? No, we didn't. Yes, we did.
5. We aren't going to (gonna) go home now, are we? No, we aren't. Yes, we are.
6. That's not a raisin in the bread, is it? No, it's not. Yes, it is.
7. Why are you so sleepy? Your roommates didn't stay up late again playing computer games, did they? No, they didn't. Yes, they did. I couldn't sleep.
8. You aren't 21 yet, are you? No, I'm not. Yes, I am.
9. Your sister isn't the one in the red coat, is she? No, she isn't. Yes, she is.
10. These apples aren't too old to eat, are they? No, they aren't. Yes, they are.
