We often use a negative question like “Isn’t this…?” or “Aren’t you…?” in conversation. Technically, these are not questions for asking something. They are a casual and friendly way to confirm something or make a suggestion.For example, if you and your friend are at the peir on a sunny day, you might say:   “Isn’t this a perfect day for fishing?”  You’re not really asking for information — you’re confirming what you already think. OR "Aren't these donuts delicious!”Or if you’re making a suggestion, you can use the same pattern. Like:  “It’s almost 5pm. Isn’t it better to take the subway?”  Here, you’re giving your suggestion in the form of a question. Here’s another one. “The exam is a week away. Shouldn’t you start studying?”So remember, negative questions like “Isn’t it…?” and “Aren’t you…?” are great for confirming ideas or suggesting something in a very natural, conversational way. “Isn’t that interesting!” So, aren’t you gonna try to use this kind of English in your conversations?Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: <a href="https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsg</a>Visit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: <a href="https://www.myhappyenglish.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.myhappyenglish.com/</a>My AI English Tutor is <a href="https://chatgpt.com/g/g-687344c0706c819184e8bda28d7582d9-ask-michael-your-english-teacher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a>
