Explicação da Regra:

莫非 (mòfēi) is generally used at the start of the second clause of sentence. This grammar pattern can express doubt or make a guess It can also be used to ask a rhetorical question, similar to 难道 (nándào). When expressing doubt or making a guess, use the following pattern. The 不成 at the end of the sentence is optional. Remember that in this form, the 莫非 is usually at the beginning of the second clause. Fact, + 莫非 + conjecture + (不成)? You can use 莫非 the same way you would use 难道: in a rhetorical question. Remember that these questions are to emphasize a point, so they usually aren't meant to be answered.
