有關英文對答中,yes同no的問題

我想問如果在對答yes同no嘅問題,例如,人地問我: Do you want to have a breakfast? 咁我答yes,咁好正常表示係想的,但如果人地問我: Don't you want to go to watch a scary movie?, 咁如果我答yes, 咁即係表示咩?

Do you want to have breakfast?

Yes, I do. ( I want to have breakfast.)

No, I don't.( I do not want to have breakfast.)


We do not say " a breakfast".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't you want to go and see a horror?

Yes, I do. ( I want to go and see a horror.)

No, I don't. ( I don't want to go and see a horror.)

In the English world, many native English speakers tend to say

" to see a movie" ( they go out and see it) and
" to watch a VCD, to watch TV " ( they stay home to watch it).

I am not saying that it is wrong to say" to watch a movie".

For movies, I suppose we may say to see them or to watch them, but

we CANNOT say " to see TV"!

I have heard people say both anyway.

簡單d講
英文中yes就代表你o既反應係yes, 反之亦然
e.g.
YES, I WANT to watch a scary movie
NO, I DON"T WANT to eatch a scary movie

答這類問題，中文與英文有d分別
在英文grammar裡，回答yes, no 問題時，無論問題用什麼形式來問，答案係「想」，就答yes, 答案係「不想」，就答no，不用理會問題點問。
問：Do you want to have breakfast?
答: yes (即我想)
答: no (即我不想)

問: Don't you want to watch a scary movie?
答：yes (即我想)
答: no (即我不想)

請看另一例子：
Is snow white?
Snow is white, isn't it?
Snow isn't white, is it?
以上3條問題的答案都是：yes

Do you want to have breakfast?

Yes, I do. ( I want to have breakfast.)

No, I don't.( I do not want to have breakfast.)

Yes =/= 係..

呢個係 question tag

(-)negative Don't you want to go to watch a scary movie?,
( 中文係: 唔通你5想睇恐怖電影?) 佢暗視左你係想睇

(+)positive = yes,i do (我想睇)

前面(+) 答者要(-)
前面(-) 後面要(+)
