第五十天

Yes-or-no questions in the X-不-X pattern

There's also 有没有 but let's do that tomorrow. (I find these forms adorable for some reason. Who knows.)

Guardian:
带我回家好不好？(Grandma giving Xiao Guo orders)
林静，要不要去吃点东西 (Da Qing with a grasp of the priorities）
到底要不要告诉他，如果告诉他会不会让他陷入危险。(Two for the price of one: Shen Wei being indecisive for once)

My practice:
你去不去邮局？快要关门啊。
你看看，他帅不帅？
这个面包是不是你烤的？

Yup, you're right – it's just 昨天是我的生日, or 昨天就是～ for extra emphasis.

(not to say that 是 and 了 don't occur together at all because they sometimes do, it's just not correct here, 别问我为什么)
