我想問問一d英文文法問題 (20點)

Never say 'Yes, I don't like it' because it is illogical.

假如有人問我:
Are you ok?
我想話我ok, 係咪應該答No?
Answer: Yes

我想話我唔ok, 係咪要答yes?
Answer: No

假如佢係咁問:
Aren't you ok?
我想話我ok, 係咪都係答No?
Answer: Yes, I am OK

我想話我唔ok, 係咪照答yes?
Answer: No, I am not.


之不過如果佢咁問:
You are okay, aren't you?
or
You are not okay, are you?
我ok
Answer: I am OK

同我唔ok又應該要點答呢?
Answer: No, I am not.


或者類似問題:
You like swimming, don't you?
or
You don't like swimming, do you?

不管怎樣問
我鐘意
Answer: Yes, I like swimming.

同唔鐘意
Answer: No, I don't like swimming.

應該點答yes no呢?

假如我日後仍然攪唔清yes or no問題, 我可以用咩野句式去避免講錯野呢?

Use correct/incorrect or agree/disagree

e.g.
Question: You were not cheating, were you?
Answer: Yes (means you confess that you were cheating)
Answer: Agree (means you agree with the statement - not cheating)

So, we don't have to buy another chip.
那位朋友便道：
Yes.
那兩女士便又即時迷惘了。

'Yes' = You have to buy another chip. It made the two ladies confused.

You like swimming, don't you?
鐘意: Correct/Agree/Right
唔鐘意: Incorrect/Disagree/Wrong

or
You don't like swimming, do you?
鐘意: Incorrect/Disagree/Wrong
唔鐘意 Correct/Agree/Right

(usually in court proceedings)

You can say 'Correct. I don't like it.' but never "Yes, I don't like it.'

不管點樣問"係鐘意就係yes, i like..., 唔鐘意就係no, i don't like... . 唔會變

'Swimming' and 'cheating' are two examples. The same rule applies to all other cases.

最保險就是說correct/incorrect 或agree/disagree, 因為在法庭都是這樣說.

還要留意, 菲律賓人說英語也常常犯同樣錯誤, 因其土話的是與否跟廣東話語法相近. 英國人點頭表示同意你的說法, 故有時他們會一面點頭, 一面口裡說"no". 這種潛在本能, 非一般中國人能學得到.

i have been in uk for 1 yr, i never seen :英國人點頭表示同意你的說法, 故有時他們會一面點頭, 一面口裡說"no"."

中文的的「係」與「唔係」是回應你同意還是不同意別人的提問，而英文的Yes/No則是按你回應是affirmative（正）或是negative（反）。

每論提問是用以下的任何一個方式：
Do you like shopping?
You like shopping, don't you?
Do you not like shopping?
You do not like shopping, do you?
你的回答都是：
Yes, I like shopping. Yes, I do.　（若你愛購物／逛街）
No, I do not like shopping. No, I don't.　（若你不愛）

若你遇到No加上affirmative的句子，那該是有句被省略了的句子。如：
Do you like mathematics?
No, (I do not like mathematics;) I like English.

其實呢~~~

雖然中文嘅文法同英文嘅文法係唔同
不過喺grammar上嚟睇 答yes or no唔係剩係話件事啱定錯ga~~

examples:
Are you watching the TV?
你就可以答
Yes, I'm watching the TV.
試吓用中文嚟諗
有人問你
你係咪睇緊電視?
你咪答「係呀」(Yes)或者「唔係呀」(No) lor~~

如果有人問你
Are you okay?(你還好嗎?)
如果想話俾人聽「我很好」
就係講
Yes, I'm fine.
如果想話俾人聽「我不好」
就係講
No, I'm not okay.

如果有人問你
Aren't you okay?(你不好嗎?)
如果想話俾人聽「我很好」
就係講
No, I'm fine.
如果想話俾人聽「我不好」
就係講
Yes, I'm not okay.

因為aren't you okay入面已經有not
即係假設你已經唔okay la~~
再答yes嘅話就同頭先問你are you okay嘅意思相反

如果有人問你
You are okay, aren't you?
如果想話俾人聽「我很好」
就係講
Yes, I'm fine.
如果想話俾人聽「我不好」
就係講
No, I'm not okay.

如果有人問你
You aren't okay, are you?
如果想話俾人聽「我很好」
就係講
No, I'm fine.
如果想話俾人聽「我不好」
就係講
Yes, I'm not okay.

呢個phrase响grammar上好常見
千其唔好俾後面aren't you or are you混淆咗

再講埋
如果有人問你
You like swimming, don't you?
用中文嚟諗 即係問緊「你唔係鍾意游水咩?」
如果想話俾人聽「我鍾意」
就係講
Yes, I like it.
如果想話俾人聽「我唔鍾意」
就係講
No, I don't like it.

相反地
如果有人問你
You don't like swimming, do you?
用中文嚟諗 即係問緊「你係咪唔鍾意游水?」
如果想話俾人聽「係呀」
就係講
Yes, I don't like it.
如果想話俾人聽「唔係呀」
就係講
No, I like it.

假如你日後仍然攪唔清yes or no問題
你可以諗吓呢句英文轉做中文係點呢(不過呢個方法唔係咁好, 會好容易有chinglish, 即係港式英文)

至於用其他句式.....
不過yes or no question响英文grammar上面已經係最basic ga la~~
再轉就仲複雜
搞掂yes or no question先la

同人用英文溝通多D
講錯都唔緊要ga~~
冇人一學就識哂
講錯咗咪知道自己錯响邊
下次就correct咗D mistakes lor~~

加油la.
