Question tags
Question tags are short question at the end of a statement. We mainly use them in
speech when we want to confirm something or when we want to find out it if
something is true or not.
Example: They are very small, arent they?
Rabbits dont eat meat, do they?
Tiger has got stripes, hasnt it?
When form a question tag with the auxiliary verb and the appropriate personal
pronoun.
Example: Rita can speak French, cant she?
Have you spent a lot of money, havent you?
When the verb of the sentence is the present simple, we form the question tag with
the auxiliary verb do, does and the personal pronoun. When the verb is in the past
simple, we form the question tag with the auxiliary verb did and the personal
pronoun.
Example: He likes golf, doesnt he?
Kevin went to Rome last year, didnt he?
When the statement is positive the question tag is negative.
Example: She was at home, wasnt she?
When the statement is negative, the question tag is positive.
Example: They havent finished yet, havent hey?
She wont come to the party, will she?
When the statement contains a word with a negative meaning like never, hardly,
seldom, or rarely, the question tag is positive.
Example: He is never late, is he?
They seldom go to the theatre, do they?
