When to use Rhetorical Questions with 不是...吗

Read 不是 + statement + 吗 as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 不是 adds to it.

这不是你的包吗？

Is this not your bag?

你不是说明天来吗？

Did you not say you would come tomorrow?

Common traps

  • Do not translate 不是 + statement + 吗 mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 不是 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
