1. Question tags

2. Question tags 1. Use A question tag is a short phrase that is added to the end of a sentence (usually in spoken English) to check information or to ask if someone agrees with you. ‘ The weather’s cold for this time of year, isn’t it? ’ If you are sure or almost sure that the listener will agree with you, your voice goes down. If it is a real question, we say the question tag with a rising intonation.

3. Question tags 2. Form  positive statement →  negative question tag - You are  Peter,   aren't you ? - Yes, I am.  negative statement →  positive question tag - He isn't  at home,  is he ? - No, he isn’t.

4. Affirmative statement + negative question tag You are tired , aren’t you ? He has bought a new house , hasn’t he ? You play the guitar , don’t you ? The children were hungry, weren’t they ? Sue worked hard, didn’t she ? Tom will visit us soon, won’t he ? They should be more careful , shouldn’t they ?

5. Negative statement + positive question tag He isn’t a talkative person , is he ? You haven’t got a bike, have you ? Tom doesn’t live here, does he ? They weren’t late for school, were they ? You didn’t enjoy the meal, did you ? You can’t speak French, can you ? You won’t go jogging before breakfast , will you ?

6. Question tags NOTES: Although the negative word  not   is not in the sentence, the sentence can be negative . Then we use the positive  question tag . Ex.: He  never/hardly ever/rarely goes out with his friends,  does   he ? 1

7. Question tags NOTES: We use  will with imperatives. Ex.: Open your books,  will you ? 2

8. Question tags NOTES: We use shall after  Let’s . Ex.: It’s getting late. Let's call a taxi,  shall   we ? I’m hungry . Let’s eat , shall we ? 3
