Introduction
Da/ne pitanja [yes/no questions] nazivaju se i pitanja zatvorenog tipa [closed questions] ili polarna pitanja [polar questions] jer odgovor na njih može biti samo da [yes] ili ne [no].
Odgovori na pitanja zatvorenog tipa nazivaju se kratki odgovori [short answers].
Form
Za tvorbu pitanja zatvorenog tipa dopušteni su samo pomoćni (be, have, do) ili modalni glagoli (can, could, would…).
Da/ne pitanja imaju ovu strukturu:
Auxiliary/modal verb + subject + noun/verb + …?
Obično se pomoćni ili modalni glagoli ponavljaju u kratkom odgovoru (nije potrebno ponavljati i sam glagol).
Kratki odgovori imaju ovu strukturu:
Yes/no + , + subject + auxiliary/modal verb (isti kao i u pitanju)
| Question | Affirmative Short Answer | Negative Short Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Do you…? | Yes, I do./Yes, we do. | No, I don’t./No, we don’t. |
| Does he…? | Yes, he does. | No, he doesn’t. |
| Can we…? | Yes, we can. | No, we can’t. |
| Have you got…? | Yes, I have./Yes, we have. | No, I haven’t./No, we haven’t. |
| Has he got…? | Yes, he has. | No, he hasn’t. |
| Would you like…? | Yes, I would./Yes, we would. | No, I wouldn’t./No, we wouldn’t. |
| Are you…? | Yes, I am. | No, I‘m not. |
| Were you…? | Yes, I was./Yes, we were. | No, I wasn’t./No, we weren’t. |
| Was it…? | Yes, it was. | No, it wasn’t. |
| Did they…? | Yes, they did. | No, they didn’t. |
Example
- Do you like postcards? – Yes, I do. /
Yes, I like. - Did she go by car? – No, she didn’t.
- Were you at the bus station yesterday? – Yes, we were.
Use
Da/ne pitanja koristimo kad očekujemo da će odgovor biti ili da (potvrdni) ili ne (negativni).
Summary
Da/ne pitanja [yes/no questions] mogu kao odgovor imati samo da ili samo ne.
Struktura pitanja:
Auxiliary/modal verb + subject + noun/verb + …?
Struktura kratkog odgovora:
Yes/no + , + subject + auxiliary/modal verb (isti kao i u pitanju)
Naprimjer:
— “Do you like cats? – Yes, I do.” = Pošto je pomoćni glagol to do u pitanju, ponoviti će se i u odgovoru.
♦ “Whose cat is this?” = Wh- pitanja nazivaju se i pitanja otvorenog tipa jer pružaju nebrojive mogućnosti različitih odgovora.
NAPOMENA: Za tvorbu da/ne pitanja možemo koristiti samo pomoćne (be/have…) ili modalne glagole (can/could/would…).
