Does the conversation sound more natural with/without question tags?
When someone uses question tags, are they really asking a question, or expecting agreement?
Choose the correct underlined words to complete the rules:
To make a question tags, we repeat the main verb/auxiliary verb.
If the question Is positive, the question tag is negative/positive.
Is the the question is negative, the question tag is negative/positive.
If there is no auxiliary verb, the question tag uses the main verb/do, does or did.
We use question tags at the beginning/end of a statement.
The tense of the auxiliary verb must agree/doesn’t have to agree with the tense of the main verb.
If there is a modal verb in the statement, we must repeat/don’t have to repeat it in the question tag.
Special cases:
The question tag for I am is aren’t I?
The question tag for let’s is shall we? Let’s surprise them, shall we?
After imperatives, we use will you? Turn the sound down, will you?
After there is/was/etc, we use there. There isn’t any cake left, is there?
After somebody, someone, everybody, everyone, no one, etc, we use they. Everybody is sleeping, aren’t they?
After nothing, something and everything, we use it. Nothing happened, did it?
