STEP B GRAMMAR TIP

Negative questions are used to ask, clarify, or react to something.

You can use negative questions to check the information that you think is true.

  • Isn't that cake pretty high-calorie?

You can also use negative questions to react or complain.

  • Don't you get tired of always drinking canned coffee?
  • Aren't you saving money for a gym membership?

UNDERSTAND

SPEAKING

Ai and Sho were eating lunch in the breakroom when Tim came in to ask a question.

Tim:

Hey, guys. Do you know where I can get lunch to go? I have a meeting in twenty minutes.

Ai:

How about the restaurant across the street? Their pre-made salads are really good.

Sho:

I recommend the convenience store downstairs. Just grab a sandwich or lunch box there.

Ai:

Sho, are you serious? Don't you have any better suggestions?

Sho:

Well, I always eat convenience store food.

Ai:

Aren't you tired of eating it? I mean, don't you basically eat cup noodles or corndogs every day?

Sho:

That's not true. I buy rice balls there too.

Ai:

(sigh) It's fine to eat that stuff sometimes, but not every day! Don't you read food labels? Most convenience store foods are really high in salt. They're bad for your health.

Sho:

It's okay. They save time and taste good.

Ai:

Sho! (sigh) I'll send you an easy recipe later. Please try to make your lunch at least one day next week, okay?

TRIVIA

In Japan, many convenience stores sell American dogs, but that is actually  Japanese English. Native speakers call them corndogs. Many Americans are very amused when they hear the Japanese name for corndogs.

Oh, really? I thought we could eat here. (You like the selection.)

Tutor:

They don't have any Japanese food here. I really want noodles or something.

Student: Student:

Oh, okay. But, um, that restaurant is kind of expensive. (You're trying to save money.) I thought you were saving up for a trip overseas.
