Question Tag :


Question tag is a small question added to a statement at the end. It is generally used when we want the listener to confirm what we have said.


Examples :

1. I am a teacher. Aren’t I?
   
   
   
2. I am not a teacher. Am I?

Note :


Negative tag expects the answer YES.

Positive tag expects the answer NO.


Only auxiliaries are used in question tags.


Example :

1. You didn’t sleep well. Did you?
   
   
   
2. We shall not see him again. Shall we?
   
   
   
3. He doesn’t like reading. Does he?
   
   
   
4. You are coming tomorrow. Aren’t you?
