Negative questions are one of the most confusing parts of English communication for learners.

Understanding how to respond correctly is essential because the answer depends on reality, not the negative wording. Mastering this pattern significantly improves comprehension and communication accuracy.

English Dialogue — Office Situation
Emma (Manager): Jason, didn’t you submit the expense report yesterday?
Jason: Actually, I uploaded it this morning.
Emma: Oh, I must have missed the notification.
Jason: No worries. Would you like me to resend it?
Emma: Yes, please. I want to double-check the figures.
Jason: Sure. Aren’t we closing the monthly accounts today?
Emma: Yes, that’s why I’m reviewing everything carefully.
Jason: Got it. Should I also update the travel summary?
Emma: That would help.
Jason: I’ll send both files before noon.
Emma: Perfect. Thanks for staying on top of this.
Jason: Of course!
