Is it a bad idea to start a question with an auxiliary verb in negative? If so, how would you make the following sentences sound natural?
For instance:
1Wasn't she at the party?
2 was I stupid ?
3 weren't they smart?
4 were we not polite?
5 couldn't they come?
6 shouldn't we leave?
7 mustn't they call us?
And so on?
Those are all natural.. But you need to start with a capital letter. 4 Were we not polite?
