TAG QUESTIONS WITH TO BE

Slide 1 - Diapositive

TAG QUESTIONS WITH TO BE
Een tag question is een korte vraag aan het einde van een zin. We vragen hiermee of iets wat we zeggen klopt of niet.

In het Nederlands zeggen we dan vaak “toch?”, “hè”, “is het niet?”, of “of wel?”

TAG QUESTIONS WITH TO BE
Bij het maken van een tag question moeten we eerst bepalen of de zin bevestigend (+) of ontkennend (-) is. 
  • I am not a bad friend, am I?
  • I’m a fast runner, aren’t I?
  • You’re not a very good football player, are you?
  • You are her younger sister, aren’t you?
  • He isn’t very funny, is he?
  • Susan is her sister, isn’t she?
  • We are not that close, are we?
  • Pete and Jane are good friends, aren’t they?
