Lesson 15 --- TAG QUESTIONS
Lesson15: TAG QUESTIONS
 

Have you and wasn't it are tag questions ( mini questions that we often put at the end of a sentence in spoken English). In tag questions, we use an auxiliary verb (have/was/will. etc.). We use do/does/did for the simple present past.

Notice the meaning of yes or no in answer to a negative sentence. The meaning of a tag question depends on how you say it. If your voice goes down, you aren't really asking questions; you are inviting the listener to agree with you. But if your voice goes up, it is a real question.

Normally we use a negative question tag after a positive sentence:

  positive sentence + negative tag
  Mary will be here soon, won't she?
  There was a lot of traffic, wasn't there?
  Jim should pass the exam, shouldn't he?

  and a positive question tag after a negative sentence:

  negative sentence + positive tag
  Mary won't be late, will she?
  They don't like us, do they?
  You haven't got a car, have you?

  Notice the meaning of yes and no in answer to a negative sentence:

  * You're not going out today, are you? Yes. (Yes, I am going out)
  * You're not going out today, are you? No. (No, I am not going out)

Examples:

1. Maria will be here soon, wont she?
2. There was a lot of traffic, wasn't there?
3. Jim should take his medicine, shouldn't he?
4. You are not going today, are you?
5. It's a nice day, isn't it?
