Use negative yes/no questions and tag questions to: check information you believe to be true OR comment on a situation.

Can’t you swim
somewhere else?
Haven’t you

Form the tag with a form of be or an auxiliary verb, such as have, do, will, can, or should. Use the same auxiliary that is in the statement.
He has done this before, hasn’t he?
He isn’t serious, is he?
You bought life insurance, didn’t you?

8. Tom isn’t enjoying this, is Tom? That wasn’t my parachute, was it?
Be Careful!
In the tag, only use pronouns. When the subject of the statement is that, the subject of the tag is it.
Tom isn’t enjoying this, is Tom?
he?
That wasn’t my parachute, was it?
Screen 14.
[JA: Not sure if this can be fixed or is a real issue, but as the animated slide changes from “Tom isn’t enjoying this, is he?” to the next animation, the “X” that came before the sentence that was fixed (Tom isn’t enjoying this, is Tom) quickly appears over “he” -- if there’s a way for it to not do that, pls. fix. Otherwise, prob OK to leave alone.] TL: FIXED

9. Practice 1 Example: You can swim, … can’t you? This is high enough, …
Complete the tag questions with the correct tag.

doesn’t he?

10. Intonation 1 You’re right. I didn’t wear a seat belt.
Use tag questions in conversations when you expect the other person to agree with you. In this type of tag question, the voice falls on the tag.
You’re right. I didn’t wear a seat belt.
That hurts, doesn’t it?
You didn’t wear a seatbelt, did you?
This type of tag question is more like a statement than a question. The listener can just nod or say uh-huh to show that he or she is listening and agrees.
The speaker is checking information he believes is correct. He expects the listener to answer (and agree).
Screen 16
Uh-huh.

11. Intonation 2 This isn’t dangerous, is it?
Tag questions can be used to get information. This type of tag question is more like a yes/no question. Like a yes/no question, the voice rises at the end, and you usually get an answer.
This isn’t dangerous, is it?
That’s what they told us in the skydiving class.
The speaker wants to confirm his information because he is not sure it is correct.
Screen 17.
Well, sometimes there are sharks.
This parachute will open before we land, won’t it?

12. Answers There’s a hospital nearby, isn’t there? No, it doesn’t.
Answer negative yes/no questions and tag questions the same way you answer affirmative yes/no questions.
The answer is no, if the information is not correct.
There’s a hospital nearby, isn’t there?
No, it doesn’t.
Screen 18
Yes, there is.
The answer is yes, if the information is correct.
Doesn’t your parachute work?

13. No, we don’t. We just like to hug.
