Question tag/help
Message from saturnurani posted on 08-03-2013 at 12:49:19 (D | E | F)
Hello,

I hope you can solve my problem.
When we use imperative like "Have a seat" , what can we use in the question tag?
"will you" or "won't you"?
I'm looking forward to hear from you soon .
Yours sincerely
saturnurani

Hello,

If the ~~tag~~ question tag is in an imperative sentence ,the question part should be used will you.
Don't do that again will you ?
Go with me will you /won't you?

Ok,
I know that after negative sentences we use positive question tag "will you"
but why "will you"?
xxxx
in the sentence "go with me" the question tag is "will you" or"won't you" or can we use both?
I'm looking forward to the answer.

Hello,
Won't you have a seat ? is polite.
Have a seat, will you ! is stricter! It is a reinforced order.

Have a seat, won't you ? is the same as number one, in a way.
