Question

陈述部分含有little,seldom,barely,never等的反意疑问句，如何回答？

例1：——He seldom goes swimming, does he?
       ——________ , ______________. He is a good swimmer.
此处是填Yes, he does吗？

例2：——There is nothing important in the newspaper today, is there?
       ——________ , ______________. I don't want to read it any more.
此处是填No, there isn't吗？

Answer 1

答：当陈述部分有never，seldom, hardly，few，little，barely, scarcely, nothing，none,rarely ，no, not, no one, nobody, neither等否定意义的词语时，后面的简略反意疑问句则应该是肯定形式。例如：

There are few apples in the basket, are there?

Mary seldom goes shopping alone,does she?

因此，例1：——He seldom goes swimming, does he?
——________ , ______________. He is a good swimmer.
此处应该是填Yes, he does。

例2：——There is nothing important in the newspaper today, is there?
——________ , ______________. I don't want to read it any more.
此处应该是填No, there isn't。

Answer 2

反义疑问句的回答，不要管它前面是肯定还是否定，根据事实来回答就好了。第一个，他是一个好的游泳者，所以他会去游泳，回答是：Yes，he does.第二个回答是不想再读，说明没有重要事情，回答是:No，there isn't.

Answer 3

句子中有little,seldom,barely,never这些词时是表示否定
疑问部分就用肯定。
