    Tag

    questions
    Ing. Daniel Oyola
    Concept

    • Turn a statement into a question.


    • They are used for checking information that we think we know is true.

    Examples:

    • You are a student, aren’t you?


    • Mary looks like Celine Dion, doesn’t she?
    Form

    • Use an auxiliary and a subject pronoun (aren’t you?/doesn’t she?).


    • If the main clause is positive, the tag question is negative.
    • If the main clause is negative, the tag question is positive.

    Examples:

    • It is hot today, isn’t it?


    • It isn’t hot today, is it?
    Auxiliaries

    • If the main clause has an auxiliary verb, you use the same verb in the
    tag question.

    Examples:

    • You have played soccer before, haven’t


    you?
    • They like pizzas, don’t they?
    Exception

    • I am a teacher, aren’t I?
    • I am not a teacher, am I?
