MODULE 5: TAG QUESTIONS

Câu hỏi đuôi (tag question) là dạng câu hỏi rất hay được sử dụng trong tiếng Anh, đặc biệt là tiếng Anh giao
tiếp. Câu hỏi đuôi là cấu hỏi ngắn ở cuối câu trần thuật. Câu hỏi này được dùng khi người nói muốn xác
minh thông tin là đúng hay không hoặc khi khuyến khích một sự hồi đáp từ phía người nghe.
Ví dụ:She is learning English now, isn't she? (Cô ấy đang học tiếng Anh bây giờ phải không?)
B. Công thức chung: S + V +…………………….,trợ động từ + S( ĐẠI TỪ )
-Nếu câu nói trước dấu phẩy là khẳng định thì câu hỏi đuôi là phủ định và ngược lại.
Dưới đây là bảng tóm tắc cách thành lập câu hỏi đuôi.
Statement Tag questions
I am……… aren’t I ?
I am not……… am I ?
Động từ khiếm khuyết Can’t/couldn’t/shouldn’t/won’t……+ S ?
S + can/could/should/will………
Động từ thường Sử dụng trợ động từ: Do/does/did
S + V1…………….., Don’t + S?
S + Vs/es………….., Doesn’t + S?
S + V2/ed…………, Didn’t + S?
S + have/has/had + V3/ed……………, Haven’t/hasn’t/hadn’t + S ?
S + is/are/was/were………………, Isn’t/aren’t/wasn’t/weren’t + S?
S + used to + V………, Didn’t + S ?
S +’d better/had better + V…………, Hadn’t + S?
S +’d rather/would rather/would like + V…………, Would + S?
There + is/are/was/were……………., Isn’t/aren’t/wasn’t/weren’t + S?
Let’s + V………, Shall we+?
Chủ từ là : No one/nobody/anyone/anybody/ ……………..+ they ?
everyone/everybody/someone/somebody
Chủ từ là: nothing/anything/something/ ………………+ it?
Everything…………..
Chủ từ là this/that………….. ………………+ it?
Chủ từ là these/those………. ……………..+ they ?
Trong câu có các từ phủ định:no/none/without Câu hỏi đuôi khẳng định không có N’T
Neither/hardly/seldom/rarely/little/never/few.
S + ought to………, Shouldn’t + S?
Câu mệnh lệnh Will you?
=> cấu trúc:" I + think/believe/suppose/…." + mệnh đề phụ thì ta dùng động từ trong mệnh đề
phụ để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: I think she will meet him, won't she?
Cũng mẫu cấu trúc này nhưng nếu chủ từ không phải là "I" thì dùng động từ chính trong câu
(think/believe/suppose/...) để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: She thinks he will come, dosen’t she?

MODULE 14: PHRASAL VERBS

I. Định nghĩa
Cụm động từ (Phrasal verbs) là sự kết hợp giữa một động từ và một từ nhỏ (particle). Từ nhỏ, particle(s),
này có thể là một trạng từ (adverb), hay là một giới từ (preposition), hoặc là cả hai:
Ví dụ: My father gave up smoking 3 years ago. (Bố tôi bỏ thuốc lá 3 năm trước.)
II. Cách dùng
PHRASAL VERBS CÓ THỂ ĐÓNG VAI TRÒ LÀ:
- Ngoại động từ (transitive): theo sau là một danh từ hoặc là một cụm danh từ với chức năng là túc từ
(object) của động từ.
- Nội động từ (intransitive): không có túc từ theo sau.
• NỘI ĐỘNG TỪ: Intransitive phrasal verbs
- Không có túc từ - động từ cùng particle (thường là trạng từ - adverb) luôn đi sát nhau:
Ví dụ:When she was having dinner, the fire broke out.
(Khi cô ấy đang ăn tối thì hoả hoạn xảy ra.)
Our car broke down and had to be towed to a garage.
(Xe chúng tôi bị hư và phải kéo về chỗ sửa.)
• NGOẠI ĐỘNG TỪ: Transitive phrasal verbs
Được chia làm hai nhóm, tuỳ theo vị trí của túc từ:
- Nhóm 1: có thể ở giữa động từ và "particle" hoặc đi sau "particle":
Ví dụ:I took my shoes off. / I took off my shoes. (Tôi cởi giày ra.)
Ví dụ:He admitted he'd made up the whole thing/ He admitted he'd made the whole thing up.
(Anh ta thú nhận rằng đã bịa ra mọi chuyện.)
- Nhóm 2: Nhưng khi túc từ là những chữ như this, that, it, them, me, her và him thì chúng sẽ đứng ở
giữa động từ và 'particle':
Ví dụ:I took them off. (Not I took off them.)
He admitted he'd made it up. (Not He admitted he'd made up it.)
• NGOẠI LỆ:
Có nhiều phrasal verbs vừa có thể là transitive hoặc intransitive. Ngữ cảnh sẽ cho chúng ta biết chức năng
cùng với nghĩa của chúng:
Ví dụ:The plane took off at seven o'clock, (intransitive)
(Máy bay cất cánh lúc 7 giờ.)
The man took off the shoes and came into the room, (transitive)
(Người đàn ông cởi giày và đi vào phòng.)
