1：當陳述部分的主語是 everybody , everyone, someone , no one , nobody , somebody 等指人的合成詞時，反意疑問句中的主語在正式語體中通常用 he .

eg:

Everybody knows what he has to do ,doesn't he ?

Nobody wants to go there ,does he ?

None of the boys can do it ,can he ?

在非正式語體中則往往用 they .

eg:

Nobody phoned while i was out ,did they ?

Everyone enjoyed the party ,didn't they ?

Somebody borrowed my pen yesterday ,didn't they ?

但若陳述部分的主語是 everything , anything , something , nothing 等指物的合成詞時，反意疑問句的主語隻能用 it .

eg:

Nothing could make me give it up ,could it ?

Everything is ready ,isn't it ?

2:當陳述部分是 there-存在句時，反意疑問句的主語也用 there .

eg:

There's no help for it ,is there ?

There 's something wrong ,isn't there ?

3:陳述部分帶有 seldom, hardly ,never , rarely , few , little ,nowhere ,nothing 等否定詞或半否定詞時，反意疑問句的動詞用肯定形式。

eg:

Bob rarely got drunk ,did he ?

Few people know him ,do they ?

She seldom goes to the cinema,does she ?

如果陳述部分的否定詞僅帶有否定前綴，那麼，該陳述部分作肯定句處理，反意疑問句一般仍用否定形式。

eg:

He was unsuccessful ,wasn't he ?

4:如果陳述部分是 I'm......結構， 反意疑問句一般用 aren't I.

eg:

I'm late ,aren't I ?

5:當陳述部分是一個帶有 that-分句作賓語的主從結構時，反意疑問句一般應與主句的主語和謂語動詞保持對應關系。

eg:

You think you are funny ,don't you ?

He thinks he is going to become a doctor ,doesn't he ?

She says that i did it ,doesn't she ?

但是，當陳述部分的主句是 I suppose , i think , i believe , i suspect , i imagine 等結構時，反意疑問句部分往往與 that-分句中的主語和謂語動詞保持對應關系，但要注意否定的轉移。

eg:

I suppose （that）he's serious ,isn't he ?

I don't think （that）she cares ,does she ?

6:如果陳述部分以不定代詞 one作主語，反意疑問句的主語在正式場合用 one,在非正式場合用you .

eg:

One can't be too careful ,can one ?

One can't be too careful ,can you ?
