Question tags
Tags
Questions tags are short questions that come at the end of sentences that reflect the main clause.
For example:
It's very cold tonight, | isn't it? |
Yes, it is, but it's much better than last night. |
Le question tag dépend de la phrase qui précède. |
A | - | a positive main clause has a negative question tag |
It has been a wonderful trip, | hasn't it? |
B | - | a negative main clause has a positive question tag |
Well, I don't want to stay here, | do I? |
C | - | Same tense for the two clauses. For example, for the present simple, use 'does' or 'do'. ('doesn't' /'don't'). |
Wendy needs your help, | doesn't she? |
D | - | Another example: preterie = use Did. ('Didn't'). or WAS / WERE (if it is BE) |
She worked as a secretary for three years, | didn't she? |
BUT: She was a secretary, wasn't she ?
Choose the correct 'tag'.
