反意疑问句是一种英语句式，通常在陈述句后附加一个简短的疑问句，用来确认或询问对方意见。例如："He is a teacher, isn't he?"（他是个老师，对吗？）这种结构可以增加交流的互动性，常用于口语和非正式场合。

　　He wants to go, doesn't he?

　　他想去，不是吗?

　　<二> 语法分析

　　这是个异向反意疑问句，即陈述部分是肯定的，则疑问部分用否定，反之亦然。反意疑问句有陈述和疑问两个组成部分，包括异向反意疑问句和同向反意疑问句两种。如果句子中带有否定意义的前缀或后缀的词，则整个句子仍被认为是肯定句。陈述部分和疑问部分都是肯定形式或否定形式，这种结构的反意疑问句为同向反意疑问句，一般不需要回答。
