本句是一个反义疑问句，反义疑问句的特点是“前否后肯”
或“前肯后否”，而且后半句在时态、人称和数等方面必须
与前半句保持一致。
You are a doctor, aren’t you 你是个医生，是吗？
we can’t take books out, are we 我们不能把书带出去，对吗？
反义疑问句用法歌诀
反义问句要点三，前后谓语正相反；
附加问句not现，必须缩写是习惯；
最后一点应注意，问句主语代词填。
反义疑问句的回答：
1)回答反义疑问句和回答其他一般疑问句的结构一样。
如果答语是肯定的，用“Yes +肯定结构”。
如果答语是否定的，用“No +肯定结构”。
— He enjoys dancing, doesn’t he 他喜欢跳舞，对吗？
—Yes, he does. / No, he doesn’t.
是的，他喜欢。/不，他不喜欢。
2) 回答陈述部分为否定句的反义疑问句时，Yes或是No的汉语意思与它们本身的词义相反。
—You didn’t go to work, didn’t you 你没有去上班，对吗？
— Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t. 不，我上班了。/是的，我没上班。
What’s he like now 他现在什么样子？
What +be +主语+like
用来询问某人的外貌特征，意为“……长什么样？”，
相当于 what do /does +主语+like
—What’s your brother like
=What does your brother like 你哥哥长什么样？
辨析：be like和look like
be like：“像……一样”，常指品德、相貌等相像更侧重人的个性特征。
look like：“看起来像……”常指外貌上相像。
The twin sister are like their father.
He looks like his mother.
She was always silent in class.
在课堂上她总是很沉默。
silent作形容词，意为“不说话的；沉默的”，
其名词形式为silence（沉默；寂静）。
She was silent when her mother asked her questions.
她妈妈问她问题时她沉默不语。
(1) silent 的副词形式是silently (默默地；静静地)。
He went in to the classroom and sat down silently.
他走进教室静静地坐下来。
(2) keep silent意为“保持安静”。
Please keep silent in public places.
在公共场合下请保持安静。
She still play the piano from time to time.
她仍然时常弹钢琴。
(1) still 副词，意为“仍然”，用来说明某人或某物没有变化。still 在句中通常放在实义动词前, 助动词、情态动词、连系动词后面。
The woman still lives in shanghai.
He is still in the classroom.
(2) from time to time 意为“时常；有时”相当于sometimes/at times。
She goes to the movies from time to time.
This party is such a great idea!
这个派对真是个好主意！
He used to be so shy and quiet.
他过去非常害羞安静。
such & so 辨析
such为形容词，意为“这（那）样的”，主要修饰名词；
so是副词，意为“这（那）么；如此地”，主要修饰形容词和副词。
e.g.
Do you like such weather 你喜欢这样的天气吗？
I’m so glad to see you. 很高兴见到你。
He can draw so well. 他画得那么好。
当名词前有many，much，few或little等词修饰时，要用so而不用such。
e.g.
There are so many / few people in the hall.
大厅有这么多/这么少的人。
You have so much / little homework today.
你今天有这么多/这么少的作业。
“such + a / an +形容词+可数名词单数形式”相当于“so +形容词+a / an +可数名词单数形式”，表示“如此……的一个……”。
e.g.
She is such a lovely girl. = She is so lovely a girl.
她是如此可爱的一个女孩。
