反义疑问句 Everybody can do it,__?

怎么填,说明一下为什么。。谢谢啦

答:can't they? 或can't he?
析:反意疑问句前肯后否,所以用can't, 只能用一个人称代词,不能用he or she, 习惯上用he指代每一个人(和汉语一样),不用she, 这引起女权主义者的反对,故借用中性的they 来代替he or she.
《Longman》词典上everybody同条目下有一个usage:
Anybody, every, and everybody are followed by a singular verb. They are sometimes followed by a plural pronoun A. (非正式) to avoid saying he or she, since there is no one word for this in English. (为避免用he or she, his or her )
eg. Everybody started waving their flags (正式用 his or her flag).
Everybody can do it if they try( 正式用 if he or she tries)
B. 在疑问尾句中如:Everybody has arrived, haven't they?
例一中,请注意flag的数,用了their, 用复数,而用了his or her则用flag 而hair在这里作不可数名词,不存在这个问题。所以原句中,如有his or her, 则选它(比较正式),男女都没意见,或选their.(大家都认可)

can't he/she/they?

反义疑问句,前肯后否,前否后肯。
前面是can,所以后面是can't

当主语是everyone的时候,附加疑问句的主语可以用he/she/they来代。

恩。用he/they都是比较普遍的。都是完全正确的。

追问

那个,everybody是单数吧,真的能用they吗

追答

在反义疑问句中作指代完全可以,可以给你保证。
