Tag questions

positive sentence = negative tag

negative sentence = positive tag

Tag questions

positive sentence = negative tag

He is the youngest, isn't he?

negative sentence = positive tag

She isn't happy, is she?

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? (+)

Let op!

Er is één uitzondering:

I AM always happy, AREN'T I?

AMN'T BESTAAT NIET!

Staat er een vorm van 'to be' 'to have got' of een hulpwerkwoord  (can/should/will etc.) in de zin? Dan gebruik je deze in de tag question. 

She isn't happy, is she? 

Your mother has got a black car, hasn't she? 

Tom can swim, can't he? 

Is dit niet het geval, dan gebruik je:

Present simple:

- do / don't : They play football, don't they? 

- does / doesn't (bij onderwerpen he/she/it): Your sister  works as a nurse, doesn't she?
