Question

Mary told me that you would be absent from the New Year's party,_________?
A.wouldn't you B.weren't you C.didn't she D.did she
这题答案为A,不是说当主句主语不是第一人称时,反意疑问句看主句吗?那应该选C?这里为什么答案是A?

Answer 1

反义疑问句表示提问人的看法,没有把握,需要对方证实.
在这个句子里Mary told me是事实,提问人不需要反问.
类似用法还有：
表示主语主观意愿的词
含有think,believe,suppose,imagine,expect等动词后接宾语从句构成的主从复合句在构成反意疑问句时,视情况不同有两种不同的构成方式.（即当主句是I think,I believe,I suppose,I imagine,I expect时要反问从句,其余句式均反问主句.）
当主句的主语为第一人称时,其后的简短问句应与从句相一致.
例如：I expect our English teacher will be back this weekend,won't she/he?
We suppose you have finished the project,haven't you?
值得注意的是,当这些动词后接的宾语从句的否定转移到主句时,其仍属否定句,故其后的简短问句应用肯定式,而非否定式.
例如：I don't believe that he can translate this book,can he?
We don't imagine the twins have arrived,have they?
