带有否定含义(如no,never,hardly,few,little,seldom等)的think,believe等词宾主从句其反意疑问句的句式think,believe,suppose,imagine,expect等动词后接宾句从句如果含有not的否定句,那么应将否定移到主句,其反意疑问句也根据主句的人称而有两种不同的情况,这个已经了解;但如果从句中含有no,never,hardly,few,little,seldom等词时是不需将否定前移的,那么它的反意疑问句应该是否定还是肯定?

think,believe,suppose,imagine,expect等动词后接宾句从句如果含有not的否定句,那么应将否定移到主句,其反意疑问句也根据主句的人称而有两种不同的情况,这个已经了解;
但如果从句中含有no,never,hardly,few,little,seldom等词时是不需将否定前移的,那么它的反意疑问句应该是否定还是肯定?
few, a few, little, a little
虽然都表示“少”,但
(1)few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。
(2)a few, a little含肯定意味,few, little含否定意味。这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为:There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人则会认为:There is a little water in the glass.
一:
1.few修饰可数名词复数。
2.few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义;a few (= some; several; a small
number of) 含肯定意义。
3. not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。
4. 当 few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等词所修饰时,表示肯定意义,few之前不再有冠词。如:
In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again.
It took us some few days to repair the machine.
They are very few in number.
There were too few of them.
He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.
5. 在非正式文体中很少见,一般用或代替,如:
Only a few people attended the meeting.
另外,little / a little
Little remains to be done about it. (作主语)
A little remains to be done.
Please give me a little. (作宾语)
He knows a little of everything.
There is very / but little time left. (作定语)
Don’t worry; you still have a little time.
1. little修饰不可数名词,表示“量”。
2. little含否定意义(反义词:much);a little含肯定意义(反义词:none)。
3. 在非正式英语中,一般很少用little,常用not much, only a little来代替,如:
We haven’t got much money / time.
肯定结构
E.g. I think there is no exception, is there?
我认为没有特例,是吗?
他的反义疑问句应用肯定结构,例如
We find that he never listens to the teacher carefully,does he?
我们发现他从来不仔细听老师讲课,是不是?
