What is a question tag?

Examples

You are a smart student, aren't you?

He liked her a lot, didn't he?

Why use question tags?

You generally use it when you expect the listener to agree with you.

F.e. This is the right book, isn't it?

You can compare it with the Dutch words "toch" or "of niet".

How to use question tags?

Look at the main verb in the sentence.

Main verb positive?>> question tag negative

We did our homework >> , didn't we?

You work hard >> , don't you?

How to use question tags?#2

You didn't work hard >> , did you?

How to use question tags?#3

Most verbs take question tag with the 

verb "to do" (do/does/did/don't/didn't)

Exception: The verbs "to be", "to have" & "can" take their own form as question tag.

Let's do some examples on the board.

Taboo

Two teams: team A & team B

Each turn one student describes one of the words of wordlist B to his/her team without saying the word itself. 

If the team guesses the word, they score a point!

Your team can guess two times, after that turn goes to the other team!
