Question Tags Use

• Las question tags son preguntas cortas que van al final de las oraciones.

• Estas se usan para confirmar si algo es verdadero o no o para fomentar una respuesta de la persona

que estamos hablando.


Question Tags Form

• Para formar una question tag usamos el auxiliar o verbo auxiliar de la oración y el sujeto de la misma.

eg. Darth Vader is my cat, isn’t it?


Question Tags Form

Darth Vader is my cat, isn’t it?

Si la oración principal usa el verbo to be (is), entonces de igual forma se usara en la question tag y Darth Vader será remplazado por el pronombre it.

SUBJECT VERB


More Examples...

Conny pets Snoopa, Doesn’t she?

En este ejemplo la oración esta en presente simple, por lo cual usamos el auxiliar does para formar la question tag. Fijarse que la oración principal es positiva y la question tag, negativa.


More Examples...

JP can’t play with water, Can he?

Aqui usamos el modal verb CAN, junto a un verbo infinitivo (play) y la oración principal es negativa, por lo tanto al

usar el modal verb en una question tag, esta pasará a ser positiva.
