 Citation and Paraphrasing Activity
Directions: Paraphrase the given quotation using structural/literal paraphrasing.

“First dates can be categorized as clingy, boastful, awkward, or successful. The successful
first date will be made up of both people expressing ideas about who they are, what they
like and so on. These dates usually end in a plan for a second meeting. A clingy date will
end up with one person almost begging to hear information about the other person. But
the non-clingy person will not be interested. On a boastful date, one person will talk
exclusively about their own talents or skills. The second person is not asked about
themselves. An awkward first date will usually involve a lot of silence with both people
unaware of how to act. Whilst there are many dates happening every day, they usually fall
into one of these categories."

positive tag.

NEGATIVE STATEMENT POSITIVE TAG

We are not late, are we?

was she?
yesterday,
* If there is no auxiliary verb in the main
sentence, use do, does or did in the tag.

Do is used with personal pronouns: I, they, we, you.

Does is used with personal pronouns: he, she, and it.
Did is used if the sentence is past tense.
EXAMPLE:
• You live in France, don’t you?
• He loves apple, doesn’t he?
• She likes tennis, doesn’t she?
• I care for cats, don’t I?
• My brother didn’t listen, did he?
In the present form of be: If the subject is
“I”, the auxiliary changes to aren’t I or
am I in the tag question.
Example:
I’m getting excited, aren’t I?
I’m a little red, am I?
With let’s, the tag question
is shall we?

Example:
Let’s go to the park, shall we?
Let’s have a dinner, shall we?
With an imperative, the tag question
is will you?

Example:
Close the window, will you?
Turn on the lights, will you?
When the subject is nothing, we use “it”
in the tag question.

Example:
Nothing bad happened, did it?
Nothing ever happens, does it?
If the main verb in the sentence is have it is
more common to use do in the tag question.
Example:
You have a Ferrari, don’t you?
She had a great time, didn’t she?
You are ready, ________?
We are not going home, ________?
You like grapes, __________?
Let’s have a party, __________?
