Korte vragen (tag questions)
Tag questions komen aan het einde van een zin te staan.
Je gebruikt de tags om iemands mening te vragen of
om een bevestiging te vragen.
Bijvoorbeeld:
She is very nice, isn't she?
Zij is erg aardig, toch?
1. Herhaal de vorm van 'to be' (am/are/is)
Is de zin positief (+), dan wordt de tag question negatief (-)
Is de zin negatief (-), dan wordt de tag question positief (+) (+) Lisa is late for school, isn't she? (-)
(-) Lisa isn't late for school, is she? (+)
(+) We are late for school, aren't we? (-)
(-) They aren't late for school, are they? (+)

(+) Peter can swim, can't he? (-)
