UNIT 4: TAG QUESTIONS

UNIT 4: Tag Questions

I think a tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The whole sentence is a "tag question", and the mini-question at the end is called a "question tag". And is easy to learn.

Examples:

You are Spanish, aren't you?
That film was fantastic, wasn't it?
Let's go to the beach, shall we?
Close the window, will you?

We use a positive tag question after a sentence containing a negative word such as never, hardly, nobody.

Example:

Nobody lives in this house, do they?
You've never liked me, have you?

We can use positive question tags after positive sentences to express a reaction such as surprise or interest.

Example:

You're moving to Brazil, are you?
