反意疑问句：
说话人对自己的看法不完全肯定，要求对方加以证实，这时使用的疑问句叫做反意疑问句。反意疑问句由一个陈述句和一个简略的问句构成。在反意疑问句中，如果前一部分是肯定的陈述句，后一部分要用否定的简略疑问句，如果前一部分是否定的陈述句，后一部分要用肯定形式的简略疑问句，两部分在人称、数、时态方面均要保持一致。回答时要用yes或no。注意的是当第一部分为否定句时，回答要根据事实，这时英语回答和汉语回答是不一致的。如：
- Emperor Qin’s Terra Cotta Warriors are one of the greatest wonders of the world, aren’t they?
- There aren’t any treasures in Qin Shi Huang’s Underground Palace, are there?
秦始皇地下宫殿没有任何珍宝，是吧？
