How to use Negative Questions & Question...

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

One of my students asked me what's the difference between these two questions:

  • "Does she have a car?"
  • "Doesn't she have a car?"

This is an excellent question because there IS a difference between positive questions like the first one, and negative questions like the second one. I'll teach you about it in today's lesson, and we'll also cover question tags, like "She has a car, doesn't she?"

But first I have a question for YOU:

Do you want to be a well-rounded English speaker?

That means someone who is good at ALL the areas of the language – speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary. You need all of those skills for fluency.

That's why my Complete Program for English learning has courses in every single area of the language. It'll help you improve ALL your skills in just 10-15 minutes a day.

The good news is that the Complete Program is available at a 50% discount compared to buying all my courses individually...

...and the even better news is that you can divide up the payment over 3 or 6 months so it's even easier to join! Click here to see everything included in my Complete Program and find out how to sign up.
