Question Tags

What is question tags and what is it used for?

A question tag is a short question at the end


of a sentence using the following form:
(SENTENCE), auxiliary verb + Subject?
We use a question tag for:
1. Asking someone to agree with us.
e.g. Today is extremely hot, isnt it?
2. Checking if something is true.
e.g. Youre Dans sister, arent you?

How do we form a question tag?


Auxiliary verb
If the main verb in the sentence is negative, to form the
tag, we use the corresponding affirmative auxiliary verb,
and the other way around.
e.g. They didnt agree with us, did they?
Sue is living in Paris right now, isnt she?
Subject
The subject used in the QT is the same that we have in
the sentence, but in the pronoun form.
e.g. Lorna and Matt are happy together, arent they?

SOME EXCEPTIONS
Lets, shall we?
e.g. Lets sunbathe today, shall we?
Im, arent I?
e.g. Im getting red, arent I?
Imperative, will/would/could you?
e.g. Pass me the salt, will you?
Negative words (no, never, hardly, nobody, little,) which
stand for negative verb need a positive tag.
e.g.
He never comes, does he?
There is no reason for leaving now, is there?

SOME EXCEPTIONS
There, there?
e.g. There is a lot of homework today, isnt there?
Indefinite pronouns as subjects (someone, everybody,
anybody, nobody) are substituted by they in the QT.
e.g. Someone will come, wont they?
Nothing and everything are substituted by it in QT.
e.g. Everything is okay, isnt it?
