Questions & Answers about บทเรียน นี้ คุณ เคย ทบทวน ไหม ครับ
Why is บทเรียนนี้ (this lesson) at the very beginning instead of after the verb ทบทวน (review)?
This is the topic-comment structure you are currently learning. By moving the object (บทเรียนนี้) to the front, the speaker emphasizes what they are talking about, as if saying 'As for this lesson...' You do not need to add a word for 'it' after the verb; that spot is just left empty.
If the object is at the front, why doesn't the question word ไหม move with it?
Even though the object is fronted, the core part of the sentence is still a yes/no question about the action (คุณเคยทบทวน). The question particle ไหม must always stay at the end of the entire action phrase, right before the polite particle ครับ.
Can เคย mean 'used to' instead of 'have ever' here?
Yes, เคย marks past experience and can mean either 'have ever' or 'used to' depending on the context. In a yes/no question with ไหม, it usually asks if you have ever done the action at least once, so 'have you ever reviewed?' is the most natural translation here.
Is the verb ทบทวน only used for studying lessons?
While ทบทวน is very common for reviewing schoolwork or lessons, you can also use it in broader contexts. It means to go over, reconsider, or reflect on something, so you will also see it used for reviewing contracts, decisions, or past events.
