Tất tần tật về Câu hỏi đuôi (bài tập có giải)

I. Khái niệm, cách dùng

- Khái niệm : Câu hỏi đuôi là một cấu trúc đặc biệt trong tiếng Anh, bao gồm một mệnh đề đi kèm với một câu hỏi ngắn ở sau, được ngăn cách bởi dấu phẩy.

- Cách dùng: Chúng ta dùng câu hỏi đuôi để xác nhận lại thông tin là đúng hay sai. Trong tiếng Anh, câu hỏi đuôi mang nghĩa như: is that right? (có đúng không), do you agree? (bạn đồng ý chứ).

II. Cách thành lập

1. Câu hỏi đuôi gồm có: chủ ngữ (phải là đại từ nhân xưng) và trợ động từ hay động từ đặc biệt.

2. Nếu câu phát biểu ở thể khẳng định thì câu hỏi đuôi ở thể phủ định và ngược lại.

3. Nếu câu hỏi đuôi ở thể phủ định thì phải dùng hình thức tĩnh lược (contractive form).

Ex:

STATEMENTS

QUESTION-TAGS

He is a good boy,

The girl didn't come here yesterday,

They will go away,

She hasn't left,

isn^’t he?

did she?

won't they?

has she?

III. Những trường hợp đặc biệt

a. Phần đuôi của “I am” là “aren’t I” .

Eg: I’m going to do it again, aren’t I?

b. Imperatives and Requests ( Câu mệnh lệnh và câu yêu cầu):

+ Có phần đuôi là “won’t you?” khi câu phát biểu diễn tả lời mời:

Eg: Take your seat, won’t you? (Mời ông ngồi)

+ Có phần đuôi là “will you?” khi câu phát biểu diễn tả lời yêu cầu hoặc mệnh lệnh phủ định.

Eg: Open the door, will you? ( Xin vui lòng mở cửa)

Don’t be late, will you? (Đừng đi trễ nha.)

c. Phần đuôi của câu bắt đầu bằng “ Let’s ...” : là “shall we ?”

Eg: Let’s go swimming, shall we?

Nhưng phần đuôi của “Let us / Let me” là “will you”

d. Nothing, anything, something, everything được thay là thế bằng “ It” ở câu hỏi đuôi:

Eg : Everything will be all right, won’t it?

No one, Nobody, anyone, anybody, someone, somebody, everybody, everyone được thay thế bằng “They” trong câu hỏi đuôi.

Eg: Someone remembered to leave the messages, didn’t they?

Lưu ý: Nothing, Nobody, No one được dùng trong mệnh đề chính, động từ ở câu hỏi đuôi sẽ phải ở dạng thức khẳng định. (Vì Nothing, Nobody, No one có nghĩa phủ định)

Eg: Nothing gives you more pleasure than listening to music, does it ?

e. This/ That được thay thế là “It”. Eg: This won’t take long, will it?

f. These/ Those được thay thế là “They”. Eg: Those are nice, aren’t they?

g. Khi trong câu nói có từ phủ định như: seldom, rarely, hardly, no, without, never, few, little… phần đuôi phải ở dạng khẳng định. Eg: He seldom goes to the movies, does he?

h. Nếu câu phát biểu có dạng : You ‘d better → câu hỏi đuôi sẽ là : hadn’t you ?

You’d rather → câu hỏi đuôi sẽ là : wouldn’t you ?

You used to → câu hỏi đuôi sẽ là : didn’t you ?
