اختي مازال ماكتبنا الدرس بصح هذا من عندي
A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The whole sentence is a "tag question", and the mini-question at the end is called a "question tag".
We use tag questions at the end of statements to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Am I right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English.
The basic structure is:
+
Positive statement, -
negative tag?
Snow is white, isn't it?
-
Negative statement, +
positive tag?
You don't like me, do you?
Look at these examples with positive statements:
positive statement [+] negative tag [-] notes:
subject auxiliary main verb auxiliary not personal
pronoun
(same as subject)
You are coming, are n't you?
We have finished, have n't we?
You do like coffee, do n't you?
You like coffee, do n't you? You (do) like...
They will help, wo n't they? won't = will not
I can come, can 't I?
We must go, must n't we?
He should try harder, should n't he?
You are English, are n't you? no auxiliary for main verb be present & past
John was there, was n't he?
Look at these examples with negative statements:
negative statement [-] positive tag [+]
subject auxiliary main verb auxiliary personal
pronoun
(same as subject)
It is n't raining, is it?
We have never seen that, have we?
You do n't like coffee, do you?
They will not help, will they?
They wo n't report us, will they?
I can never do it right, can I?
We must n't tell her, must we?
He should n't drive so fast, should he?
You are n't English, are you?
John was not there, was he?
Some special cases:
I am right, aren't I? aren't I (not amn't I)
You have to go, don't you? you (do) have to go...
I have been answering, haven't I? use first auxiliary
Nothing came in the post, did it? treat statements with nothing, nobody etc like negative statements
Let's go, shall we? let's = let us
He'd better do it, hadn't he? he had better (no auxiliary)
Here are some mixed examples:
But you don't really love her, do you?
This will work, won't it?
Well, I couldn't help it, could I?
But you'll tell me if she calls, won't you?
We'd never have known, would we?
The weather's bad, isn't it?
You won't be late, will you?
Nobody knows, do they?
Notice that we often use tag questions to ask for information or help, starting with a negative statement. This is quite a friendly/polite way of making a request. For example, instead of saying "Where is the police station?" (not very polite), or "Do you know where the police station is?" (slightly more polite), we could say: "You wouldn't know where the police station is, would you?" Here are some more examples:
You don't know of any good jobs, do you?
You couldn't help me with my homework, could you?
You haven't got $10 to lend me, have you?
Intonation
We can change the meaning of a tag question with the musical pitch of our voice. With rising intonation, it sounds like a real question. But if our intonation falls, it sounds more like a statement that doesn't require a real answer:
intonation
You don't know where my wallet is, do you? / rising real question
It's a beautiful view, isn't it? \ falling not a real question
Answers to tag questions
A question tag is the "mini-question" at the end. A tag question is the whole sentence.
How do we answer a tag question? Often, we just say Yes or No. Sometimes we may repeat the tag and reverse it (..., do they? Yes, they do). Be very careful about answering tag questions. In some ********s, an oposite system of answering is used, and non-native English speakers sometimes answer in the wrong way. This can lead to a lot of confusion!
Answer a tag question according to the truth of the situation. Your answer reflects the real facts, not (necessarily) the question.
For example, everyone knows that snow is white. Look at these questions, and the correct answers:
tag question correct answer
Snow is white, isn't it? Yes (it is). the answer is the same in both cases - because snow IS WHITE! but notice the change of stress when the answerer does not agree with the questioner
Snow isn't white, is it? Yes it is!
Snow is black, isn't it? No it isn't! the answer is the same in both cases - because snow IS NOT BLACK!
Snow isn't black, is it? No (it isn't).
In some ********s, people answer a question like "Snow isn't black, is it?" with "Yes" (meaning "Yes, I agree with you"). This is the wrong answer in English!
Here are some more examples, with correct answers:
The moon goes round the earth, doesn't it? Yes, it does.
The earth is bigger than the moon, isn't it? Yes.
The earth is bigger than the sun, isn't it? No, it isn't!
Asian people don't like rice, do they? Yes, they do!
Elephants live in Europe, don't they? No, they don't!
Men don't have babies, do they? No.
The English alphabet doesn't have 40 letters, does it? No, it doesn't.
Question tags with imperatives
Sometimes we use question tags with imperatives (invitations, orders), but the sentence remains an imperative and does not require a direct answer. We use won't for invitations. We use can, can't, will, would for orders.
imperative + question tag notes:
invitation Take a seat, won't you? polite
order Help me, can you? quite friendly
Help me, can't you? quite friendly (some irritation?)
Close the door, would you? quite polite
Do it now, will you? less polite
Don't forget, will you? with negative imperatives only will is possible
Same-way question tags
Although the basic structure of tag questions is positive-negative or negative-positive, it is sometime possible to use a positive-positive or negative-negative structure. We use same-way question tags to express interest, surprise, anger etc, and not to make real questions.
So you're having a baby, are you? That's wonderful!
She wants to marry him, does she? Some chance!
So you think that's amusing, do you? Think again.
Negative-negative tag questions usually sound rather hostile:
So you don't like my looks, don't you?

Have a look at this example
He is a doctor ,isn't he?
The part He is a doctor is a sentence
)[The part isn't he is the tag question
We have to put a comma between the sentence and the tag question
and since the tag question is a question,it has to end with a question mark
.................................................. .................................................. ....................
If the sentence is in the affirmative form,the tag question should be in the negative form
and if the sentence is in the negative form,the tag question should be in the affirmative form
[If the verb of the sentence is the verb to be in the affirmative form,we use ,in the tag question,isn't or aren't
[If it is another verb in the present simple, we use don't or doesn't
If it is another verb in the past simple, we use didn't
If it is a verb in the future, we use won't
and so on
[Examples
? You are tired,aren't you
John lives in London,doesn't he?
Children like games,don't they?
We were late yesterday,weren't we?
I don't speak Spanish,do I?
My parents didn't travel last week,did they?
][Remark
[Never say for I am amn't I but say aren't I
Excercise: Complete with tag questions
She visited me last night
My father will buy a new car next month
They are noisy pupils
It is not going to rain tonight
Jane can do this excercise
He doesn't know about that

ارى ان الكثير يعاني من هدا الدرس لم يفهموا هنا الشرح حرفيا تفضلو :
Tag Questions
You speak English, don't you?
A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The whole sentence is a "tag question", and the mini-question at the end is called a "question tag".
A "tag" is something small that we add to something larger. For example, the little piece of cloth added to a shirt showing size or washing instructions is a tag.
We use tag questions at the end of statements to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Am I right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English.
The basic structure is:
+
Positive statement,-
negative tag?Snow is white,isn't it?-
Negative statement,+
positive tag?You don't like me,do you?
Look at these examples with positive statements:
positive statement [+]negative tag [-]notes:subjectauxiliarymain verb auxiliarynotpersonal
pronoun
(same as subject) Youarecoming, aren'tyou? Wehavefinished, haven'twe? Youdolikecoffee,don'tyou? Youlikecoffee,don'tyou?You (do) like...Theywillhelp, won'tthey?won't = will notIcancome, can'tI? Wemustgo, mustn'twe? Heshouldtryharder,shouldn'the? You areEnglish,aren'tyou?no auxiliary for main verb be present & pastJohn wasthere,wasn'the?
Look at these examples with negative statements:

Here are some mixed examples:
But you don't really love her, do you?
This will work, won't it?
Well, I couldn't help it, could I?
But you'll tell me if she calls, won't you?
We'd never have known, would we?
The weather's bad, isn't it?
You won't be late, will you?
Nobody knows, do they?
Notice that we often use tag questions to ask for information or help, starting with a negative statement. This is quite a friendly/polite way of making a request. For example, instead of saying "Where is the police station?" (not very polite), or "Do you know where the police station is?" (slightly more polite), we could say: "You wouldn't know where the police station is, would you?" Here are some more examples:
You don't know of any good jobs, do you?
You couldn't help me with my homework, could you?
You haven't got $10 to lend me, have you?
Intonation
We can change the meaning of a tag question with the musical pitch of our voice. With rising intonation, it sounds like a real question. But if our intonation falls, it sounds more like a statement that doesn't require a real answer:
intonation You don't know where my wallet is,do you?/ risingreal questionIt's a beautiful view,isn't it?\ fallingnot a real question
Answers to tag questions
A question tag is the "mini-question" at the end. A tag question is the whole sentence.
How do we answer a tag question? Often, we just say Yes or No. Sometimes we may repeat the tag and reverse it (..., do they? Yes, they do). Be very careful about answering tag questions. In some ********s, an oposite system of answering is used, and non-native English speakers sometimes answer in the wrong way. This can lead to a lot of confusion!
Answer a tag question according to the truth of the situation. Your answer reflects the real facts, not (necessarily) the question.
For example, everyone knows that snow is white. Look at these questions, and the correct answers:
tag questioncorrect answer Snow is white, isn't it?Yes (it is).the answer is the same in both cases - because snow IS WHITE!but notice the change of stress when the answerer does not agree with the questionerSnow isn't white, is it?Yes it is!Snow is black, isn't it?No it isn't!the answer is the same in both cases - because snow IS NOT BLACK!Snow isn't black, is it?No (it isn't).
In some ********s, people answer a question like "Snow isn't black, is it?" with "Yes" (meaning "Yes, I agree with you"). This is the wrong answer in English!
Here are some more examples, with correct answers:
The moon goes round the earth, doesn't it? Yes, it does.
The earth is bigger than the moon, isn't it? Yes.
The earth is bigger than the sun, isn't it? No, it isn't!
Asian people don't like rice, do they? Yes, they do!
Elephants live in Europe, don't they? No, they don't!
Men don't have babies, do they? No.
The English alphabet doesn't have 40 letters, does it? No, it doesn't.
Question tags with imperatives
Sometimes we use question tags with imperatives (invitations, orders), but the sentence remains an imperative and does not require a direct answer. We use won't for invitations. We use can, can't, will, would for orders.
imperative + question tagnotes:invitationTake a seat, won't you?politeorderHelp me, can you?quite friendlyHelp me, can't you?quite friendly (some irritation?)Close the door, would you?quite politeDo it now, will you?less politeDon't forget, will you?with negative imperatives only will is possible
Same-way question tags
Although the basic structure of tag questions is positive-negative or negative-positive, it is sometime possible to use a positive-positive or negative-negative structure. We use same-way question tags to express interest, surprise, anger etc, and not to make real questions.
So you're having a baby, are you? That's wonderful!
She wants to marry him, does she? Some chance!
So you think that's amusing, do you? Think again.
Negative-negative tag questions usually sound rather hostile:
So you don't like my looks, don't you?
