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? (+)

meer voorbeeldzinnen met 'to be'

(+)  You are  often chilling with your friends, aren't  you? (-)

(-) My friends and I  aren't  doing our homework, are we? (+) 

(+) Your grandmother  is  very sweet, isn't she? (-)

Let op!

Er is één uitzondering:

I AM always happy, AREN'T I?

AMN'T BESTAAT NIET!

2 Herhaal ook de vorm van can en have got /has got

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

(-)  Lisa  can't  do the test, can  she? (+)

(-) Emma  hasn't  got  blue eyes,  has  she? (+)

(+) We  have  got  a test  this week,  haven't  we? (-)

3 Als er géén am, are, is & can & have got/has got in de zin staat, dan gebruik je do of does. 

Tip: Maak eerst een vraag van de zin en zet het eerste woord van die vraag achter je zin. 

They   hate  maths, don't  they?

Lisa   loves  pizza, doesn't  she?

You   know   him,  don't   you?

You  have  a problem,  don't  you?

They  don't  like maths, do they?

Lisa  doesn't  like pizza, does she?
