Tag Questions

Tag questions worden net als een label aan het einde  van een zin vastgemaakt. 

Je gebruikt de tags om iemands mening  te vragen of om een bevestiging  te vragen: ..., vind je ook niet? ..., toch? ..., hè?

Zij is erg aardig, vind je ook niet?

Tag questions

positive sentence = negative tag

negative sentence = positive tag

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? (+)

Herhaal ook de vorm van can

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