Question:
英语前肯后否与前否后肯答句区别？

alexcwlin comments:

You are asking the difference between:

1.      a. She is pretty, isn’t she?
or
b. She makes good money, doesn’t she?

versus:

2.      a. She isn’t pretty, is she?
or
b. She doesn’t make good money, does she?

It’s easy to understand the differences once you translate them into Chinese.

1(a): 她是漂亮，不是吗？
1(b): 她赚很多钱，不是吗？

2(a): 她不是漂亮，是吗？
2(b): 她不赚很多钱，是吗？
