Hi all,
Could any body here help me in describing more detail about The Principle of question and answer with some Flexib.... Verb as : Mind, may,....in negative questions in general.
Forexample : The question : Dont you mind about this?
The answer: No, I dont >>>>>> Correct?
the other answer: Yes, i do>>>>>> Is this one correct?
Second example : Do you mind about this?
The right answer is : Yes, i do
The other answer is : No, I dont >>>>> Is this one wrong?

The responses to the question are exactly the same in phrasing and meaning whether it is a negative or a positive question. g. " which should but generally doesn't require the opposite response from the positive question.

The responses to the question are exactly the same in phrasing and meaning whether it is a negative or a positive question.
e.g.
"Don't you mind?"
"No, I don't."
means exactly the same thing as
"Do you mind?"
"No, I don't."
In general, it's better to avoid negative questions because "Don't you mind?" is logically equivalent to "Do you not mind?"
e.g.
"Don't you mind?"
"No, I don't."
means exactly the same thing as
"Do you mind?"
"No, I don't."
