Question Tags

Question tags are used in conversation to get a (positive) reaction from the person you are talking to. That’s not really difficult, is it?


Form

* positive main clause → negative question tag

* negative main clause → positive question tag


Examples

* You are Tom, aren’t you?

* He isn’t Joe, is he?

REMEMBER : main clause with auxiliary verb → use auxiliary verb in question tag


*You’ve got a car, haven’t you
