1）称述部分是复合句时，反意疑问句的主语与主句保持一致，但当称述句是第一人称I (think/consider/suppose/believe/ imagine)等接的宾语从句时，反意疑问句的主语应与从句保持一致。例如：
    I don’t think he can finish the work, can he?
    He was not in when I rang you up, was he?
    2）陈述部分是并列句，反意疑问句通常与最临近的分句保持一致。例如：
    He is a teacher, but his wife is an engineer, isn’t she?
    3）若陈述部分中含有no, none, neither, nobody, nothing, few, little, hardly, scarcely, rarely, seldom等表示否定的词，该部分被视为否定，反意疑问句应为肯定例如：
    He has few good reasons for staying, has he?
    4）若陈述部分的否定词带有否定前缀，该陈述句部分做肯定句处理，反意疑问句仍用否定式。例如：
    He dislikes candy, doesn’t he?
    5）称述句部分为不定式、动名词或句子，反意疑问句一律用it 做主语。例如：
    What he lacks is courage, isn’t it?
    To get rid of a bad habit is not easy, isn’t it
    6）I am 的反意疑问句用aren’t I，例如：
    I’m the next, aren’t I?
    7）used to 动词原形的反意疑问句用动助词 didn’t ＋ 主语？例如：
    He used to get up early, didn’t he/ usedn’t he?
    8）动词wish 的反意疑问句用情态动词may＋主语？例如：
    I wish to go home now, may I？
    9）情态动词的反意疑问句，例如：
    He ought to know what to do, oughtn’t he/ shouldn’t he?
    10 ）You’d better的反意疑问句用hadn’t you?，例如：
    You’d better read it by yourself, hadn’t you?
    11）You’d like的反意疑问句用wouldn’t you? 例如：
    You’d like to go with me, wouldn’t you?
    12）省略句的反意疑问句用，前后要一致，例如：
    What colours, aren’t they?
    13）neither… nor, either… or 连接并列主语时，反意部分根据实际逻辑意义而定。
    Neither you nor I am engineer, are we?
