Question tags (1)

Let's practise using question tags, shall we?

Question tags are used when you expect the other person to agree with you. Or when we want to turn a statement into a question. If the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag. For example: This is Lisa, isn't it? When the statement is negative, we use a positive question tag. For example: He has never been to Scotland, has he? Question tags are used more when speaking than in writing.

Use the same verb in the question tag as in the question: He is...isn't he? She does...doesn't she? Be careful: When the question uses "Will..." the question tag is "won't you" For example: He will come with his dog, won't he? If there is a full verb in the sentence, use don't, doesn't, didn't or do, does, did to form the question tag. For example: He knows you, doesn't he?
