Tag Questions

Grammar 3.2

Grammar 3.2 Coursebook

In short

Een tag is een kort vraagje aan het einde van een zin, zoals: ..., is it?/ ..., isn't it/ ..., can't you?

De spreker vraagt hiermee om bevestiging ("Klopt dat? / Ben je het met me eens?")

Na een bevestigende zin (+) is de tag ontkennend (-)

Na een ontkennende zin (-) is de tag bevestigend (+)

Find the 5 tag questions. Are they all correct? Explain in 2s

Dear Kate,

Good to hear from you! It is a long time, isn't it?  We shouldn't wait so long next time, shouldn't we? You wanted to know if I liked Steve's party last week? Yes, I did! His parties are always great, isn't he? But then again, I am a party animal, aren't I? Hope you will write back soon. You will, won't you?

Love, Betty  

Tag Questions

• Tag questions come at the end of a sentence
• We use question tags to check something 
• Your name is John, isn't it?
• Your name isn't John, is it?

• The movie is great, ........?
• The movie = it
• Verb (to be, can, have, do, will, should)? Yes - to be (is)
• The movie is great, isn't it?

If the sentence is positive, the question tag is negative

If the sentence is negative, the question tag is positive

Verbs to repeat:

• To be
• Can
• Have
• Do
• Will
• Should
• If there is no verb like the ones above, use do

One -> refers to the SINGULAR noun (enkelvoud)

Ones -> refers to the PLURAL noun (meervoud)

I don't want the green apples. I want the red ones.
