    This document discusses negative yes/no questions. It explains that negative yes/no questions are used to confirm something is true, agree with an opinion, or express surprise. The questions take the form of contracting verbs like "don't" and "isn't" followed by a subject and predicate. To answer negative yes/no questions, you respond the same way as for positive yes/no questions - saying "yes" if the negative statement is true and "no" if it is false. Examples of negative yes/no questions and their answers are provided.
