Negative questions

Structure:

To form negative questions we simply add n’t (not) after the auxiliary

Negative Questions
Aren’t you married?Don’t you know English?	PRESENT SIMPLE
Isn’t Juan working?	PRESENT CONTINUOUS
Wasn’t Felipe sick?Didn’t Mary study for the test?	PAST SIMPLE
Haven’t you sent the email	PRESENT PERFECT

USE of negative questions

Compare the following questions

-          Are you sick?

This is a normal information question. I want to know if the person is sick in general.

-          Aren’t you sick?

In this case you have the idea that the person is sick. For example, let’s suppose that Mario arrived late to work and said he was sick. Later that afternoon you see him drinking a cold beer. You say “Hey Mario, aren’t you sick?”

We use the negative questions:  

• To show surprise :
  Didn’t you send the email? Why? That was so important.
• To show doubt; to check information
  -Aren’t you the Carlos? Don’t you teach English on-line? Wow! Nice to meet you.

Subject Questions

SUBJECT QUESTIONS
To ask a question about the subject of a sentence, the word order is exactly the same as the word order for a statement. The form of the verb is exactly the same too.
Look at this statement: [s]:Subject, [v]:Verb
[s] John [v] met Maria at the station.
Now look at these two questions and answers:

[Q]:QUESTION, [A]:ANSWER
[Q] Who did John meet?
[A] Maria (not the subject)
[Q] Who met Maria?
[A] John (the subject)
In the second sentence, we are asking about the subject of the sentence. Here are some more examples of subject questions:
Something happened in the kitchen.
What happened in the kitchen?
Someone knows a lot about physics.
Who knows a lot about physics?
Someone's writing is the best.
Whose writing is the best?
Some students are leaving on Monday.
Which students are leaving on Monday?

Modal verbs of obligation : must, have to, should and ought to

There are two types of  modal verbs of obligation ; those that primarily express a firm obligation or necessity - must and have to - and those that express a recommendation or moral obligation - should and ought to 

Firm obligation, etc. - must and have go 

The verb must only exists in the simple present and present perfect forms.
While the present form can express obligation, necessity, certainty or strong probability, the present perfect forms only express a strongly felt opinion or supposition.

All persons	Present	Present perfect
Affirmative	must	must have
Negative	must not, mustn't	must not have, mustn't have

If other tenses are required, the speaker or writer must use forms of the synonymous modal verb "have to" .  This modal auxiliary has all normal tenses, including progressive or continuous forms; these are not common, but need to be used in some cases.

Principal tenses	Present	Present perfect	Past	Future
Affirmative:	has to, have to	has had to have had to	had to	will have to
Negative;	does not have to, do not have to , doesn't have to don't have to	has not had to have not had to	did not have to didn't have to *	will not have to won't have to
Progressive or continuous	am having to is having to, are having to	has been having to have been having to	was having to were having to	will be having to

* The form "had not to" is sometimes used, but it is generally considered to be archaic.

Got to :

In spoken English, and in the present form only, have to is often substantiated by the word got;
     i.e. an alternative to I have to is I've got to.

Must and have to are used to express :
a. Firm obligation or necessity
b. Certainty  or strong probability.
c. Must have only :  supposition

Examples:
a1) You must see a doctor at once !
a2)  I have to be at school tomorrow at 8 a.m. I have an exam !
a21) I've got to be at school tomorrow at .....
a3)  You mustn't touch that plate, it's too hot.
a4)  I had to see a doctor, because I felt very sick.
a5)  I had to break the window ! I lost my key !
a6)  The manager isn't here, he's had to go to Paris on urgent business.
a7)  Tomorrow the President will have to open Parliament.
a8)  She's having to move because she can't stand the noise.
a9)  I'm having to take out this detonator very slowly, to avoid an explosion.
a10)  Oh you're so kind!  You didn't have to do it as well as that !

b1)  He must be over eighty, he was born in 1930.
b2)  If my brother's not in London, he has to be in New York.
b3)  I've got all the right answers, I must be one of the winners !
b4)  If I remember correctly, it has to be here.
c1)  I can't find my laptop, I must have left it in the train.
c2)  If they're out, they mustn't have heard the news.

Attention !
Take care to distinguish correctly between  "had to" and "must have"

They had to go to London
   = They were obliged to go to London
They must have gone to London.  
   = In my opinion, they have certainly gone to London.

Recommendation or moral obligation - should and ought to

  Forms of should

All persons	Present	Present perfect

  Forms of ought to

All persons	Present	Present perfect

verbs - questions and negatives

1. Yes/No questions

Yes/No questions are questions to which the answer is Yes or No
Look at these statements:

They are working hard.
They will be working hard.
They had worked hard.
They have been working hard.
They might have been working hard.

We make Yes/No questions by putting the subject, they, after the first part of the verb:

Are they working hard?
Will they be working hard?
Had they worked hard?
Have they been working hard?
Might they have been working hard?

2. Negatives

We make negatives by putting not after the first part of the verb:

They are not working hard
They will not be working hard
They had not worked hard
They have not been working hard
They might not have been working hard

In spoken English we often reduce not to n’t:

They aren’t working hard.
They won’t be working hard
They hadn’t been working hard
etc.

	Have and have got
	Magrit from Germany from Subrata from Brazil writes:   'Is this correct: How many subsidiaries does your company have got?' (Magrit) 'I cannot understand the use of have had and had had.' (Subrata)         'have' / 'have got'   When we are talking about possession, relationships, illnesses and characteristics of people or things we can use either have or have got. The have got forms are more common in an informal style. Have got has the same meaning as have and both are used as present tenses. Note that have got is NOT the present perfect of get. To make questions and negative sentences with have we normally use the auxiliary verb do. To make questions and negative sentences with have got we use the auxiliary verb have. So your question, Magrit, with have got must be formed as follows:   How many subsidiaries has your company got?   Study these further examples and note that in informal speech we often switch from one form to the other:   - How many subsidiaries does your company have? - It has two.   - How many sisters do you have? - I’ve got three (sisters). - Do you all have your own bedrooms? - Sue’s got her own bedroom, but neither Debbie nor I have. We have to share.   (Note in this last example that have to is used as an alternative to must because the need to share is imposed on the sisters.)   - Have you got a new car, Paul? - Yes I have. I bought it last week. - Has it got air conditioning? - No it hasn’t. But it’s got a CD player. - Do you have very many CDs? - I’ve got hundreds.   Note the way in which we form short answers and question tags with have got and have:   - Have you got a sore throat as well as a runny nose? - No, I haven’t. - But you’ve got a high temperature, haven’t you? - Yes, I have.   - Does this music school have enough pianos? - No, it doesn’t. - But you have enough opportunities to practise, don’t you? - No, we don’t.   future forms of 'have'   Note that we normally use the have got form of have only in the present tense. For future reference different forms of have used. Compare the following:   - Have you got tickets for the match on Saturday? - No, I haven’t. Not yet. - Will you have them by tomorrow? - I hope so.   - Have you got any time to help me with my maths homework? - Not now I haven’t. Sorry. - Are you going to have any time at the weekend, do you think? - Yes, I’ll probably have some time then.   past tenses with 'have'   Similarly, for past tenses we use different forms of have, not have got. Compare the following:   - Have you still got a bad headache? - Yes, I have. - How long have you had it? - I’ve had it on and off since yesterday. - Did you have it at the concert last night? - Yes, I did. I couldn’t concentrate on the music properly.   'have had' / 'had had'   Have had is the present perfect form of have, Subrata, describing actions or states which started in the past and continue up to the present. Had had is the past perfect form of have, which we use to talk about longer actions or situations which continued up to a past moment that we are describing. Compare the following:   - I’ve had stomach ache ever since I ate those spam sandwiches. - I’ve got some pills which are good for digestion. Why don’t you take those?   I started out on the five-mile swim after I’d had a good rest. If I hadn’t had a good rest, I would never have completed it. But because I had had a good rest before I started, I completed it in less than two hours.   Note from the above examples that I’ve is the contracted form of I have and I’d is the contracted form of I had. It is also the contracted form of I would:   If I hadn’t had a good rest beforehand, I’d never have completed the five-mile swim.
