Dear Students, as you might be bored of listening to me....here is another teacher to tell you about Question Tags.
Listen, learn and improve! 😉
Now, let's check what you've learned :
They are beautiful, aren’t they?
Verb to be in the affirmative Tag with Verb to be in the negative
I’m older than you, aren’t I?
First person singular Tag turns into "aren't I"
Open the window, will you?
Instruction in the affirmative Tag with "Will you"
Don’t forget to go to the supermarket, will you?
Instruction in the negative Tag with "Will you"
Let’s go for a walk, shall we?
Invitation "Let's ..." Tag turns into "Shall we"
He hadn't got a new car, had he?
Verb to have in the negative Tag with Verb to have in the positive
The teacher gave you permission, didn't she?
A verb in the Past Simple in the affirmative requires a Tag with didn't
Your parents didn't tell you, did they?
A verb in the Past Simple in the negative requires a Tag with did
üIf the sentence is positive, the QT (question tag) is negative
üIf the sentence is negative, the QT is positive
üThey are formed with the auxiliary verb or modal and the personal pronoun
üIf the verb is in the present simple or past simple, it is formed with do, does or did
üWith words such as, never, hardly, seldom, rarely the question tag is positive
Exception: with I am we have an irregular tag:
I am right, aren't I? and I am not right, am I?
