be 動詞的疑問句

be 動詞的疑問句是把 be 動詞(am / is / are)移到主詞前面來造句,並在句尾加上問號。回答時在 Yes / No 後面再放進主詞與 be 動詞,用簡短的方式回答,而縮寫只用在否定的回答上。

概念說明

be 動詞的疑問句是把 be 動詞(am / is / are)移到主詞前面來造句,並在句尾加上問號。回答時在 Yes / No 後面再放進主詞與 be 動詞,用簡短的方式回答,而縮寫只用在否定的回答上。

 

A.  疑問句的造法 — be 動詞移到前面 

只要把直述句的 be 動詞移到主詞前面,就變成疑問句了be 動詞 + 主詞 + 其餘部分 + ? 這個語序就是唯一的規則。

直述句疑問句
You are a doctor.Are you a doctor?
He is busy.Is he busy?
They are at school.Are they at school?
It is raining.Is it raining?
  • Are you tired? (你累了嗎?)
  • Is she from Korea? (她是韓國人嗎?)
  • Are they your friends? (他們是你的朋友嗎?)
  • Is it your first time here? (你是第一次來這裡嗎?)

 

B.  Yes / No 簡答 

be 動詞的疑問句要在 Yes / No 後面加上「主詞 + be 動詞」或「主詞 + be 動詞 + not」來簡短回答。肯定的回答不用縮寫,只有否定的回答用縮寫才自然。

問句肯定回答否定回答
Are you a student?Yes, I am.No, I'm not.
Is he busy?Yes, he is.No, he isn't.
Are they here?Yes, they are.No, they aren't.
Is it cold?Yes, it is.No, it isn't.
  • Is Anna your friend? — Yes, she is. (Anna 是你的朋友嗎?是的,她是。)
  • Are you hungry? — No, I'm not. (你餓了嗎?不,我不餓。)
  • Are they doctors? — Yes, they are. (他們是醫生嗎?是的,他們是。)

 

C.  疑問詞 + be 動詞 — What / Where / How / Who 

疑問詞(What, Where, How, Who 等)後面也可以直接接上 be 動詞,用來詢問具體的資訊。語序一律是「疑問詞 + be 動詞 + 主詞 + ?」。

疑問詞問句範例回答範例
WhatWhat is your name?I'm Anna.
WhereWhere are you from?I'm from Korea.
HowHow is the weather?It's sunny.
WhoWho is that man?He's my father.
  • Where is the restroom? (洗手間在哪裡?)
  • How is your family? (你的家人過得好嗎?)
  • What are these? (這些是什麼?)
  • Who is your English teacher? (你的英文老師是誰?)

重點整理

  1. 1be 動詞的疑問句只要把 be 動詞移到主詞前面就完成了,這個語序是唯一的規則。(例: You are → Are you?)
  2. 2回答時肯定不用縮寫(Yes, I am),只有否定才縮寫(No, I'm not),這種慣用法是自然英語的特徵。
  3. 3Yes / No 的簡答一定要再放進主詞與 be 動詞,請記住這一點。(X: Yes, am. / O: Yes, I am.)
  4. 4在疑問詞(What / Where / How / Who)後面接上 be 動詞,就成為詢問具體資訊的疑問句,請學會這條延伸規則。
  5. 5am not 沒有縮寫形,所以否定的回答一律只用 I'm not 這個形式,請再確認一次這個例外。

例句

Are you a student?
