How to form a sentence with a question tag?

Als er:

• Een vorm van to be or have/has got  (Am, Is, Are, has/hasn't, have/haven't)    

• Als er geen vorm van to be of have/has got in de zin staat, gebruik je do/don't, does/doesn't in de aangeplakte vraag

                        Question tag 

                               

                        Stappen plan

3 steps to create a tag question:

step 1: look at the verb.

• "to be(am/is/are)" in the sentence: repeat in tag.
• auxiliary verb(have got..) in the sentence: repeat in tag.
• none of them? use 'do/don't & does/doesn't'

Kevin is a doctor, isn't he? 

Kevin has got a cat, hasn't he?

Kevin plays football, doesn't he?

step 2:  + and - (balance)

negative sentence - positive tag

positive sentence - negative tag

He is nice, isn't he?

step 3:

a tag must end with:

I, you, he, she, it, we, they
