接续
- Vます形 + ませんか
讲解
This is a polite way to invite someone. It looks like a negative question, but it means 'How about doing it together?' Because it asks the other person's wishes, it sounds soft. To accept, say ええ、いいですね. To decline politely, say すみません、ちょっと….
例句
日曜日に いっしょに 映画を 見ませんか。
Would you like to see a movie together on Sunday?
昼ごはんを いっしょに 食べませんか。
Would you like to have lunch together?
A「週末、山へ 行きませんか。」
B「すみません、週末は ちょっと…。」A: Would you like to go to the mountains this weekend? B: Sorry, this weekend is a bit…
少し 休みませんか。
Shall we take a short break?
注意
行きますか just asks about plans; it is not really an invitation. Answering an invitation with いいえ、行きません sounds rude.

3「〜ませんか」の 使い方が 正しい 文は どれですか。
答案与解析
答案: 1 明日、いっしょに 映画を 見ませんか。
Would you like to see a movie together tomorrow? Invitations are about the future, so 明日 with 見ませんか is right. You cannot invite someone for yesterday, and 見るませんか is the wrong form.
