Meaning
"Didn’t she"는 영어에서 과거에 어떤 일이 일어났는지를 확인하거나 놀라움을 표현할 때 사용하는 표현입니다. 이 표현은 과거 시제의 질문 형태로, 상대방이 앞서 한 말이나 이미 알고 있는 사실에 대해 재확인할 때 유용합니다.
예를 들어, 친구가 "그녀가 어제 그곳에 갔어요"라고 말했을 때, 이를 다시 확인하고 싶다면 "Didn’t she?"라고 물어볼 수 있습니다. 이때 "Didn’t she?"는 "정말 그녀가 갔나요?" 또는 "그녀가 갔다는 게 맞나요?"라는 의미로 해석될 수 있습니다.
Didn’t she는 주로 대화의 흐름을 유지하거나 상대방의 말을 확인하는 용도로 사용됩니다. 또한, 놀라움을 표현할 때도 사용할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, "그녀가 그 일을 해냈다고?" 같은 맥락에서 사용하면 상대방의 말에 대한 놀라움을 나타낼 수 있습니다.
