there is nothing in the bag

Question

there is nothing in the bag
后面填is there,还是isnot there?若我想想回答表示这里确实没有什么东西在包里面,又该怎么回答?

Answer 1

后面的反意疑问句用肯定形式：is there?
there is nothing in the bag,is there?
当陈述部分有never,seldom,hardly,few,little,barely,scarcely,nothing,none,rarely 等否定意义的词汇时,后面的反意疑问句则为肯定形式：
　　There are few apples in the basket,are there?
　　He can hardly swim,can he?
　　They seldom come late,do they?
