Slide 1 - Tekstslide



yes/no questions and short answers

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

yes/no questions and short answers

In English, we never just answer a question with "yes" or "no", unless told otherwise.

So instead, we add part of the original question after the yes or no.

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Do you like apples?


Yes, I do.


No, I don't ( do not).



Is she singing a song?


Yes, she is.


No, she isn't (is not).

Question Tags
Grammar is cool, isn't it?
This is an example of a question tag. 
A question tag is the short question at the end of the sentence. 
It is similar to the Dutch: 'klopt dat?', 'Ben je het ermee eens?', 
 'vind je niet?', 'toch?', or 'hè?' 
 As with everything in English, there's a rule you need to know to make these question tags. 

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Question Tags
The rule: 
 An affirmative or positive (positieve) sentence (+) gets a negative (ontkennend/negatief) tag (-) 
 gets a negative (ontkennend/negatief) sentence (-) gets an affirmative or positive (positieve) tag(+)
It's like the poles of a battery or a magnet, they are always opposed 

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Question Tags
Examples: 
He is a teacher at this school, isn't he? 
(Sentence is  +,  so tag is - ) 
 
They can't speak Dutch, can they? 
(Sentence is -, so tag is + )

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Question tags
When making a question tag, you always repeat or reference the verb from the main sentence.  
These can be a form of to be (am/is/are) or helping verbs (can, have, should, could, would) 
If the main sentence uses other verbs than these, you replace the verb with do/does or did in the question tag. 
(do/does = present/tegenwoordige tijd and did = past/verleden tijd)
