		<description>Hi Mariana.

If your asking a normal question, then it would be -

&quot;Why can&#039;t I sing?&quot;

But that&#039;s not a negative question in the same way as I was talking about.
That would be when you&#039;re asking someone a question.

&quot;Can&#039;t you sing?&quot;

Have fun,
Aidan.</description>

		<description>Hi Yuko.

That&#039;s right.

Didn&#039;t you know John wasn&#039;t studying hard?

If I answer &quot;Yes&quot; it means I knew he wasn&#039;t studying hard.
A short answer like this can easily confuse even native speakers though.</description>

		<description>For example, 

Didn&#039; t you know John wasn&#039;t studying hard ?

Yes.

In this case, generally speaking, the &quot;Yes&quot; means &quot;Yes, I did.&quot;

Am I right ?
Negative questions sometimes confuse me. I guess they might puzzle even native English speakers ???

Sincerely
