На русский язык разделительный вопрос может переводиться при помощи частиц ведь, да, разве, же, правда, фразы не так ли?
|
||||||
- Отрицательная форма общих вопросов выражает удивление и соответствует в русском языке вопросам, начинающимся со слов " разве, неужели?":
Yes, he has. / Yes, he has already come. - Уже пришел.
No, he hasn’t. / No, he hasn’t come yet. - Нет, еще не пришел.
- Когда вопросительные слова what, whom / who задают вопрос к дополнению с предлогом, предлог часто ставится в конец вопроса после сказуемого (или после прямого дополнения, если оно есть), особенно в разговорной речи:
Who does it depend on? – It depends on my business partner.
В официальной устной и письменной речи, помещение предлога перед вопросительным словом в длинных конструкциях часто считается более подходящим:
Eg. With whom are you playing tennis on Friday?
