A little bit of everything

tag questions & recap present tenses

Tag questions

- A question at the end of your sentence to ask for confirmation or denial

- Comparable to the dutch 'Toch?' or 'of niet?' at the end of a sentence

- Positive and negative are switched around

- With 'am', 'is', 'are' & 'can' --> Repeat the verb

- Every other verb you use 'do'

positive / negative

If the sentence is positive the tag question is negative:

"He is a strict teacher, isn't he?"

If the sentence is negative the tag question is positive:

"You aren't paying attention, are you?" 

Repeat the verb with:

He is famous, isn't he?

You aren't recording this, are you?

You guys can do this, can't you?

Maar let op!

I am making sense, aren't I?
