Question tags

• Question tags are often used to double check something that

you think you already know is true.
Making question tags
• To make question tags, there are three steps:

1. Find the correct “verb” (is/am/are, do/does/did, will, should…)

2. Find the “subject pronoun” (I, you, we, they, he, she, it…)

3. Flip pattern. If it’s a positive sentence, the QT is negative. If the

sentence is negative, the QT is positive.

Eg: Boeun has a crush , doesn’t he?

Making question tags
• Remember the three steps.

Eg: You are a ninja. Eg: I’ve finished.

>>You are a ninja, aren’t you? >>I’ve finished, haven’t I?

Eg: Boeun won’t go. Eg: Plooch didn’t die.

>>Boeun won’t go, will he? >>Plooch didn’t die, did he?
 Useful tips

• Present simple: do/does (i.e: You go, don’t you?)

• Past perfect: had (i.e: You had gone, hadn’t you?)

Special case question tags (1)
• Sometimes, there are special cases when the sentences may
appear (+), but you don’t flip the pattern because the
meaning is (-).

Eg: Our teacher never makes any mistakes.

>>Our teacher never makes any mistakes, does she?

***Answering the question tags

• When you answer the question tags, STICK TO YOUR

ORIGNINAL answer. Don’t change it because of the tags.

Eg: You don’t like cats, do you?

(If you don’t like cats): No, I don’t. / No.
(If you like cats): Yes, I do. / Yes.
