Yes, I am.(来) / No, I’m not.(不来) - Don’t you like sushi?
Yes, I do.(喜欢) / No, I don’t.(不喜欢) - Haven’t you finished?

6) 常见句型 | Useful patterns
- Why don’t you/we + 动词原形…?(建议/邀请)
Why don’t we start with Task 1? - Why not + 动词原形…?(更简洁的建议)

Wouldn’t it be better to wait? - How can you not + 动词原形…?(强烈情绪)

some/any 小贴士

- 一般开放提问多用 any:Don’t you have any time?
7) 语调提示 | Intonation
- 升调(↗):更开放、真在询问
- 降调(↘):更像确认/表示惊讶或不满
8) 易错点 | Common mistakes
- 避免双重否定(正式英语):Don’t you have any time?(O)
Don’t you have no time?(X) - 助动词一致:用和问句一致的助动词短答(don’t → do / haven’t → have)。
- 写作体裁:Task 2 正式书面文少用情绪化否定疑问;可改为陈述 + 解释。
