(一)反意疑问句
反意疑问句是初中阶段英语教学的重点和难点，而这部分内容在教材中又比较分散，有必要把分散的知识集中起来串讲，分块复习，各个击破以提高综合运用能力与应试能力。
(1)反意疑问句要点简述
反意疑问句又叫附加疑问句，是在陈述句后，对陈述句所叙述的事实提出的疑问。其基本结构有两种：一是“肯定陈述句+简略否定问句”；二是“否定陈述句+简略肯定问句”。反意疑问句的前后两部分在时态、人称和数上都要保持一致。
如：
It looks like rain, doesn’t it?
He doesn’t need to work so late, does he?
(2)学习反意疑问句，特别要注意的问题
1. 陈述部分的主语是this, that时，疑问部分的主语多用it; 陈述部分的主语是these, those时，疑问部分的主语多用they。如：
This is a dictionary, isn’t it?

A. It’s really windy, isn’t it? Yes, it is.
You’re Ben’s sister, aren’t you? Yes, I am.

B. The train is always late, isn’t it? No, it isn’t.
