제목 I always have a hard time to say yes or no. 등록일 2024-02-24
내용 There is a difference between Korean and English when replying yes or no. I'm always confused which is right reply. When my mom asks me "Wasn't the party fun?" and if I was fun, I say "No, It was fun." in Korea. But I have to say "Yes, it was." in English. I have been having confusion when I reply to negative sentences. If I have a question, I translate it into Korean and I judge I have to say yes or no. It always puts me in chaos. If I answer wrong, I hope you understand and fix it. I will try to be familiar with replying to negative sentences.

Hello!~ 

You are actually referring to what we call "tag questions". We can reply to tag questions either with simple yes/no answers (negative tags normally expect a yes answer and positive tags normally expect a no answer) or by using yes/no + auxiliary verb.
