will you? / won't you? / can you? ¹

核心问题

——Alice, you feed the bird today, ____? —But I fed it yesterday.

A. do you B. will you C. didn't you D. don't you(全国高考,99-10)

我选了D,因为它是个反意问句,而它的前面是个肯定句。

词典解答

据报载,有的地区的考生绝大部分都选了D。为什么呢?因为他们认为所有的附加疑问句都是反意问句。他们忘记了,当句子为祈使句时,情况有些特殊:

A. 在肯定的祈使句之后,通常使用 will you? can you? 因此,上题应当选 B。此外,还可用 would you? could you?

  1. Bring the fruit up to the dining room, will you? 把水果拿到餐厅来,好吗?

  2. Come into the kitchen, will you? 到厨房来,好吗?

  3. Teacher: Get out your books, will/would/can/could you? (OGEG) 教师: 把书拿出来, 好吗?

B. 在肯定的祈使句之后,也可以使用 won't you? can't you?

  1. Have a nice holiday, won't you? (OGEG) 去过一个愉快的假日,好吗?

  2. Doctor: Keep still, won't/can't you? 医生:静一静,好不好?

  3. Have a chocolate, will/won't you? 吃一块巧克力,好吗?

C. 在否定的祈使句之后, 只能使用 will you? can you?

  1. Don't forget your key, will you? (OGEG) 不要忘了你的钥匙,好吗?

  2. Don't tell John, will you? (CCEG) 不要告诉约翰,好吗?
