Hi Everyone,
What is your opinion on these two sentences:
1. Doesn't Sue know that she isn't invited?
2. Does Sue know that she isn't invited?
Which do you prefer?
Thanks

I prefer neither one. Both are equally good. CB

It's just that the first suggests that you, the speaker, would be surprised if Sue didn't know that she isn't invited, and the second doesn't, so the second one is neutral on that point.
