How do you respond to questions like these?

Like they're constructed in a weird way so you don't know how to respond....For example someone goes "You didn't go to school yesterday, right?". Well how are you supposed to answer that? Saying yes if you didn't go? Or if you said yes, would that mean you did go? Just the way there's that weird negative thrown in there makes it strange to answer.

Anyone run into questions like these? Weird.

well since there is a right at the end, you will be agreeing or disagreeing with the right, not with the other part of the sentence

yes would be yes, you are right, and vice versa

I respond with the correct answer....:|LJS9502_basic

LJ, I was in traffic today and I heard The Cure on the radio and I thought of you. :oops: Is that creepy?

Anyway, to the TC, I respond by stating my position instead of answering the question.

Example:

Some guy: "Did you not go to school yesterday?"

Me: I was at school yesterday, why"

.

Teacher: "You didn't go to school yesterday, right?"

You: Wrong!!

I would just say "I went to school yesterday".

Yes and No are not the only possible answers to a question you know...

Depends on my disposition towards the person asking the question.

what i hate more is everyone who asks that question has different oppinions about how you shold answer, so you can never get used to the phrase to know how to answer.

wait a minute if someone asked you a question like "so you didn't go to school yesterday, right?" couldn't you just say "right" or "thats correct"

I don't think so....:(

I give them a dirty look, and they go away. Many of life's problems can be solved thusly. Elraptor

Yes, they are correct that you did not. The problem only comes up when people throw words in their sentances for no reason. like asking "right" or adding negative words due to...slang? idk.DrummerJon
