Consider the Q1 and its 2 possible answers A11 and A12.
Q1: Did you go?
A11: Yes, I went.
A12: No, I didn't go.
Now see the Q2 and its 2 possible answers A21 and A22.
I think A21 is correct. What about A22 ???
Q2: Didn't you go?
A21: No, I didn't go.
A22: "No, I went" OR "Yes, I went".
Some languages have a special word for an affirmative which contradicts a negative:
French - "Si" instead of "Oui"
German - "Doch" instead of "Ja"
English - erm, no difference - both "Yes"
So, to make it even more negative:
Q: You didn't go, did you?
A: Yes, I did.
"Yes" is the correct answer.
I'm still confused
Please correct the answers
A21 and
A22
Q2: Didn't you go?
A21: No, I didn't go.
A22: Yes, I went
are the correct answers.
