上一篇TOEIC聽力準備中，我們提到了6W1H問句

今天，我們則要來看看Yes/No問句。

Yes-No問句是大家剛接觸英文時就先學習的

這邊，簡單為各位複習一下

所謂Yes-No問句，就是指

當對方聽完你的問句時一定會用到Yes-No來回答你。

問句的結構呢?  

就是用be動詞或是助動詞開頭

(be動詞被歸類在助動詞中，但我認為它應該被分類出來)

以上面的例子來說，我們先看Be動詞的句子

肯定句

I am a teacher.

You are a nice person.

She is a doctor.

含Be動詞的Yes-no 問句，只要將肯定句的主詞和動詞位置交換即可

Yes-No 問句

Am I a teacher?

Are you a nice person?

Is she a doctor?

其他常見助動詞Yes-No問句

(Do-Does-Did/Have-Has-Had)

(Can-Could/Will-Would/Shall-Should)

(May-Might-Must)

以上這些助動詞的出現，是當"肯定句的主要動詞為一般動詞"

則配合一般動詞一起出現在問句中

Can you play guitar? (你會彈吉他嗎?)

Would you help me with the boxes? (你能幫我搬這些箱子嗎?)

Must I go to the banquet this Sunday? (我一定要去星期日的喜宴嗎?)

紅色粗體的是一般動詞，前面的助動詞則依照句意而使用

之後Chen老師再用文法詳細解說各個助動詞該怎麼用。

Yes-No問句的結構理解後，我們就來試試幾個聽力問題

寫下你的答案後，我們來看看詳解  

Q1.

Did you eat lunch already?

A. A fast-food restaurant.

B. No, not yet.

C. I don't eat meat.

Q2.

Would you help me choose a computer?

A. I bought it years ago.

B. Sure, you can borrow (借...) mine.

C. What will it be used for(uesd for-用途是...)?

Q3. 

Can you take some time to review the building plans?

A. It's just the preview (預告).

B. show them to me after lunch.

C. Yes, it has a lovely view.

Q4. 

Were you able to find the cultural center (文化中心)?

A. Yes, I saw it from the highway.

B. I wasn't able to find him.

C. Because it's rather central.

Q5.

Ms. Woodward is being promoted (拔擢) to manager, isn't she?

A. Yes, we need to promote our products.

B. I would appreciate(感激) it if you did.

C. Nothing has been confirmed yet.

這邊有沒有注意到，和前一篇6W1H問句不同

Yes-No問句不完全出現在句首

此外，用問句或是肯定句也可以回答問題喔

如問題2，A請B幫忙選購電腦

B的回答是"要用來做甚麼用途呢?"

你可能會認為，這種答句並沒有包含Yes或No

但是仔細想想，如果B不想幫忙，還會問A電腦是用來做甚麼嗎?

這就是所謂的"隱藏"回答。

遇到第二大類的Yes-No問句，還有幾點同學們需要注意的事項喔
