Tag question rules OCR: A tag question is a short phrase at the end of a statement that changes it into a question. A positive statement has a negative tag and a negative statement has a positive tag. We make tag questions with auxiliaries, e.g. do, be, have or a modal. Examples: You look over the moon, don't you? · Mariam hasn't gone shopping, has she? · They should do their best, shouldn't they? Tag questions are affirmative with none of, nobody, nothing, hardly, and ever. Example: Babies can hardly depend on themselves, can they? When the speaker is sure that the statement is true, the intonation falls down. When the speaker is asking a real question, the intonation rises.
Complete tag answers: 1. didn't they? 2. can't you? 3. will she? 4. haven't we? 5. isn't he? 6. am I? 7. was it? 8. have you? · Mistakes: 1. isn't she? 2. do they? 3. can't he? 4. aren't we? 5. did you?
