Question tags

Wat valt je op aan de volgende zinnen:

3. Sam en Dave are twelve years old, aren't they?
4. Jim isn't here, is he?

Question Tags

What are they?

-short questions at the end of a sentence to confirm/check information

-similar to "ja toch?", "toch?", "vind je niet?", "niet waar?"

-repeat the auxiliary verb ( be, do, have, will) + subject 

 She is watching that new Netflix show, isn't she?

 -if there is no auxiliary verb, use do/don't, does/doesn't or did/didn't

If the sentence is positive, the question tag is  negative 

> You are a runner, aren't you?

- They will be here tomorrow, won't they?

If the sentence is  negative, the question tag is positive

> She isn't happy, is she?
