syllables adjective followed by “than”

MEETING 9
QUESTION
TAG

We must pay attention to this table when we are doing question tag.

STATEMENT QUESTION
TAG

+ -
- +
The table tells us that the statement and the question tag are always in opposite form. If the
statement or sentence is in positive form, the question tag must be in negative form.
Otherwise if the statement or sentence is in negative form, it means that the question tag is in
positive form.

You’re an astronaut, aren’t you?

It’s not Jupiter, is it?

Jovan hates sweets, doesn’t he?

Girls like pink, don’t they?

Special question tag

 I AM
The negative question tag "am I not"
has no contraction. Because a
question tag with no contraction
sounds very pedantic, we prefer a
very ungrammatical constraction but
which is correct for question tags:
"aren't I?"
- I'm late, aren't I?
- I'm talking to the walls, aren't I?
 
 SUGGESTIONS
After a sentence with Let's... we use
"shall we?"
- Let's go out for a walk, shall we?
- Let's study tomorrow morning,
shall we?
IMPERATIVES &
INVITATIONS
After an imperative we use "will
you?" (always affirmative). We can
consider "will you?" as an
equivalent to "please" (more or
less)
- Open the door, will you?
- Don't smoke in this room, will
you?
- Come to my party, will you?
- Have a coffee, will you?
- Don't look at me like that, will
you?
