问号 | 英语文法指南 | ef-九游官网下载
凡是直接问句都要在句尾打问号。
举例
- what is your name?
- do you speak italian?
- you're spanish, aren't you?
但间接问句则不加。
举例
- he asked me what my name was.
- she asked if i was spanish.
- ask them where they are going.
即使是很长的问句，还是要在句尾打问号。
举例
- isn't it true that global warming is responsible for more and more problems which are having a disastrous effect on the world's climate and leading to many millions of people in countries that can least afford it having to contend with more and more hardship?
- why is it that even though you are unkind to me, ignore me when i ask you for help, and consistently forget to thank me when i do favors for you, you still claim to want me to be your friend and appear surprised when i prefer to hang out with other people?
问号有时可以用在句中，不一定要在句尾。
举例
- there is cause for concern (isn't there?) that the current world economic balance is so fragile that it may lead to a global economic downturn.
- "why is she here?" asked henry.
