Question tags

• Question tags are short questions added at the end of the sentence to ask for confirmation (falling intonation) or ask a question (rising intonation):

She's gorgeous, isn't she?

• We form question tags using auxiliary verbs [hulpwerkwoorden] be, have, do, will or e.g. can, should, and the pronoun [persoonlijk voornaamwoord] corresponding to [behorend bij] the subject, e.g. I, you, she, they.

• Question tags for affirmative [bevestigende] sentences usually take the negative form:

You've already been to this café, haven't you?

They made a formal complaint, didn't they?

• Question tags for negative sentences usually take the affirmative form:

Olivia can't swim, can she?

You aren't going to reduce the price, are you?

Other forms of question tags:

• In sentences with I'm we use the question tag aren't I?:

I'm late, aren't I?

• In sentences with Let's we use the question tag shall we?:

Let's meet for a coffee later, shall we?

• In sentences with negative adverbs, such as never, rarely, seldom, hardly or barely, or the words no or nobody, we use

• an affirmative question tag:

I hardly know you, do I?

They never listen to you, do they?

• In affirmative imperative sentences [=gebiedende wijs] we use will, would, can/can't or could, depending on the context. In negative imperative questions we always use the question tag will you?:

Wait for me here, will you/could you?

Don't spend too much, will you?

• In sentences where the pronoun something or nothing is the subject, we use a question tag with the pronoun it. 

If the subject is nothing, we always use an affirmative question tag:

Something is wrong, isn't it?

Nothing can be done, can it?

• In sentences with everybody, everyone, no one or nobody as the subject, we use a question tag with the pronoun they and the plural form of the verb. If the subject is no one or nobody, we always use an affirmative question tag:

Everybody/Everyone will ask questions, won't they?

Nobody/No one signed up for the dressmaking course, did they?

• In sentences with the pronoun that as the subject, we use a question tag with the pronoun it:

That's your new car over there, isn't it?

• In sentences with there is/there are (in all tenses), we repeat the pronoun there in the question tag:

There was a security alarm in the store, wasn't there?

There won't be any problems with the complaint, will there?

REPLY QUESTIONS:

We use reply questions to show interest in what somebody is saying and to signal that we want more details.

Affirmative [Bevestigende] sentence + affirmative reply question:

'You:  'I went to the new shop in Green Street yesterday.' - 'Your (speaking) partner: 'Did you?'

            'Your dad lent me some money.'                                  -                                                   'Did he?'

Negative sentence + negative reply question:

'Chris and Lisa aren't flying to Japan after all.'                      -                                                   'Aren't they?'

'I never buy shoes online.'                                                          -                                                   'Don't you?'

Complete the examples from the conversation with auxiliary verbs:

 You normally add a negative tag to a positive statement and a positive tag to a negative statement.

You know it's risky buying tickets online, 1don't you?

He hasn't passed his driving test, 2 …...... he?

He hasn't passed his driving test, 2 …...... he?

Special cases:

 I am … → aren't I? Let's … → shall we?

I'm always careful when I borrow your things, 3 ..….. I?

Let's go, shall we?

 Negative words such as never, no, nobody, hardly, rarely, etc. → positive tag

But you never wear them, 4 ….... you?

 Imperatives → will/would/can/could you?

Negative imperative → will you?

Sit down, will you? (= tell sb to do sth)

Open the door, would you? (= ask sb to do sth)

Don't lose them, 5 ….... you?

 With everybody, somebody, nobody, etc. use they.

With something, nothing and this/that use it.

That's Jamie at the door, isn't it?

Everybody's having a good time, aren't they?

Complete the conversation between Laura (L) and Jamie (J) with appropriate question tags:

J:   This is the place. He said he'd meet me at the main entrance.

L:   Did he? So why are we waiting at the staff entrance?

J:   Oh no, you're right. Come on, we'd better hurry.
