解析
本题考查反意疑问句的用法,核心在于动词与主语的一致性以及否定形式的正确选择。
- 关键知识点:
- 反意疑问句的结构为“陈述句 + 简短疑问句”,疑问部分的动词需与陈述句中的动词一致。
- 当陈述句使用 used to 时,反意疑问句通常用 didn't + 主语 或 usedn't + 主语(较少使用)。
- 若陈述句的主语是复数(如本题中的 trees),疑问部分需用 were 的否定形式 weren't。
-
分析陈述句:
原句为 There used to be some trees by the lake,主语是复数 trees,动词为 used to be。 -
确定疑问部分的动词:
- used to 的否定形式通常为 didn't use to,但本题中陈述句为肯定形式,反意疑问句需用否定形式。
- 由于主语是复数 trees,疑问部分需用 weren't(对应复数主语)。
-
排除干扰项:
- A. was there:错误,was 用于单数主语。
- C. wasn't there:错误,wasn't 也用于单数主语。
- D. were there:错误,疑问句需用否定形式。
