Question tags (2)

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? AND If the question starts with "Let's..." the question tag is "shall we?" For example: Let's practise question tags, shall we?
