最常讓學生頭痛的題目中，叫做「造原問句」。事實上，只要注意看題目句子中，畫線的是
什麼地方，再依 Page 2 中的使用時機對照表，不難的啦。
例：（請注意看畫線部分和句末提示）
1. He's under the tree.
解答→ Where is he?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 under the tree，「在樹下」是 He 所在的「地點」，所以
本句的原問句是問「他在哪裡？」）
2. She's John's student. (Jean)
解答→ Who is Jean?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 John's student，「John 的學生」是 She 和 John 的
「身份」，且句末有 Jean 提示字，所以本句的原問句是問「Jean 是誰？」）
3. It's a chair.
解答→ What is it/that/this?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 a chair，「椅子」是 「事物」，且原問句的主詞有可能
是 this/that/it 等，所以本句的原問句是問「它 / 這 / 那是什麼？」）
4. Jack is her brother.
解答→ Who is her brother?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 Jack，「Jack」是 「人名」，所以本句的原問句是問
「誰是她的哥哥？」）
5. He's fine, thanks. (your father)
解答→ How is your father?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 fine，「安好」是 「健康狀況」，且句末有 your father
提示字，所以本句的原問句是問「你爸爸身體好嗎？」）
請依畫線部分，造出原問句。
1. They are our friends.
2. Her name is Susan.
3. He is looking at pictures. (Tim)
4. My sister is in the classroom.
5. It's fine. Thank you. (your rabbit)
6. They are in the room. (Sue and Rachel)
7. She's five years old.
8. They are from the USA. (the girls)
9. It's on the desk. (Michelle's pencil box)
10. It can jump. (the dog)
**在學過現在進行式後，若再加上疑問詞的使用，這種「造原問句」的試題就會變得很複
雜：
1. He is reading a comic book in the living room. (Ted)
解答→ What is Ted reading in the living room?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 a comic book，「漫畫書」是 「事物」，所以本句的原
問句是問「Ted 正在客廳裡看什麼？」）
2. He is reading a comic book in the living room. (Ted)
解答→ What is Ted doing in the living room?
（說明：和上句不同的是，題目句的畫線部分不但有 a comic book，還包含了 reading
「動作」在內，而「看漫畫」是 「一個動作」，所以本句的原問句是問「Ted 正在客廳裡
做什麼（動作）呢？」）
3. Ted is reading a comic book in the living room.
解答→ Who is reading a comic book in the living room?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 Ted， 「Ted」是 「人」，所以本句的原問句是問「誰
正在客廳裡看漫畫？」）
4. He is reading a comic book in the living room. (Ted)
解答→ Where is Ted reading a comic book?
（說明：因題目句的畫線部分是 in the living room，「在客廳」是 「地方」，所以本句的
原問句是問「Ted 正在哪裡看漫畫？」）
上述的四個題目句，基本上是一樣的，只因為畫線部分不同，所造成的答案就會有不同
試著做練習看看--請依畫線部分，造出原問句:
1. They are looking at their pictures in the classroom. (Dick and his friend)
2. They are looking at their pictures in the classroom. (Dick and his friend)
3. Dick and his friend are looking at their pictures in the classroom.
4. They are looking at their pictures in the classroom. (Dick and his friend)
上述的疑問句都是含有「疑問詞」（how, what, who, where），但有的疑問句並沒有「疑問
詞」

Henry: Yes, I am.
2. Gordon: Is there a clock on the wall?
