OBJECTIVES Tag Questions Listening practice
USE A question tag is a short question at the end of a statement: He won the prize, didn’t he? question tag We use question tags when we want to check if information is correct.
FORM 1. Use question tags at the end of a sentence: He won the prize, didn’t he? question tag
FORM 2.a. NEGATIVE QUESTION TAG: If the sentence is positive, the question tag is negative: You have seen that film, haven’t you? + - 2.b. POSITIVE QUESTION TAG: If the sentence is negative, the question tag is positive: You haven’t seen that film, have you? - + If the sentence contains a negative word (never, hardly…) the question tag is positive: Ann never goes anywhere, does she?
FORM 3. Questions tags consist of … AUXILIARY VERB + PRONOUN: I shouldn’t laugh, should I? Sarah was winning, wasn’t she? We use the auxiliary verb that is used in the previous sentence. If there is no auxiliary verb, se use “do/does” (present tense) and “did” (past tense): You live near here, don’t you? You turned left, didn’t you? The pronoun refers to the subject of the previous sentence.
FORM 4. Some verbs form question tags differently: I am aren’t I? I’m helpful, aren’t I? There is isn’t there? There is a chemist’s near here, isn’t there? There are aren’t there? There are many shops in the area, aren’t there? This is / That is isn’t it? That’s your wife over there, isn’t it?
