Желал бы я знать, какой естествоиспытатель впервые подметил эту особенность в кошках Чешира?

13 Wh - question

Специальный вопрос

↑ Question

Специальный вопрос - это вопрос, который начинается с вопросительного слова (Interrogative pronouns).

1) образование специального вопроса.

а) Порядок слов в специальных вопросах (кроме вопросов к подлежащему) таков: wh- word + be/ have/mod/v aux + subj... В начале предложения стоит вопросительное слово; после него слова идут в таком же порядке, как и при образовании общего вопроса (см. Yes-No question).

When will she come again? — Когда она придет снова?

What do you think of him? — Что ты о нем думаешь?

б) В вопросе к подлежащему предложения на месте подлежащего (т.е. в начале предложения) стоит вопросительное слово; порядок остальных членов предложения такой же, как в повествовательном предложении (см. Sentence: word order).

Who broke the cup? — Кто разбил чашку?

What is in his pocket, my precious? — Что у него в кармашке, моя прелесть?

в) Если предложение содержит глагол с предлогом ( Preposition), то, как правило, предлог ставится в абсолютный конец вопроса. В формальной речи предлог может находиться перед вопросительным словом.

How on earth can I get these shoes on? — Как это я могу надеть эти туфли?

Where did you get this dress from? — Откуда у тебя это платье?

In which hall will the recital be given? (форм.) — В каком зале будет происходить декламация?

2) отрицательная форма вопроса.

Специальный вопрос с отрицанием начинается с вопросительного слова; далее порядок слов такой же, как в общем вопросе с отрицанием (см. образование вопроса с отрицанием в Negative question).

Why do you not like Mary? — Почему тебе не нравится Мэри?

Why haven't you told me you're leaving? — Почему ты не сказал мне, что уезжаешь?

3) краткая форма.

Вопрос (особенно в разговорной речи) может сокращаться до вопросительного слова (например, если требуется переспросить или уточнить). Предлог ставится чаще после вопросительного слова, как и при полном вопросе.

I'll be off on holiday. - Where to? — Я уеду на каникулы. - Куда?

I need this paper. - What for? — Мне нужна эта бумага. - Для чего?
