Question Tags
1.
A tag question is a short question (e.g.
have you?
/
haven’t you?
) that follows a
statement:
You haven’t got a car,
have you?
It was a good film,
wasn’t it?
2.
Normally we use a positive question tag with a negative sentence:
negative sentence + positive tag
Tom
won’t
be late,
will he
?
They
don’t
like us,
do they
?
That
isn’t
George over there,
is it
?
And normally we use a negative question tag with a positive sentence:
positive sentence + negative tag
Ann
will
be here soon,
won’t she
?
Tom
should
pass his exam,
shouldn’t he
?
They
were
very angry,
weren’t they
?
3.
How do we form QUESTION TAGS?
a)
Auxiliaries like
be
,
have
,
can
,
may
,
must
,
should
, etc. used in the statement
are reported at the end followed by the subject (always a pronoun):
John
was
annoyed,
wasn’t
he?
auxiliary verb
He
wasn’t annoyed
,
was
he?

I
am
late,
aren’t
I? Notice that we say
aren’t I
? (= am I not)
b)
With all other verbs, tag questions are formed with
do
/
don’t
and
does
/
doesn’t
(Present Simple) and
did
/
didn’t
(Past Simple):
You
like
fish,
don’t
you?
They
don’t like
fish,
do
they?
He
likes
fish,
doesn’t
he?
She
liked
fish,
didn’t
she?
This also applies to
have
and
do
as main verbs:
You
have
tea at 4,
don’t
you? You
did
your homework,
didn’t
you?
c)
Tag questions are also possible with
there
:
There will
be a strike,
won’t there
?
