A Yes/No question = a question that may be
answered by yes or no.
Yes/no questions are asked using be, have, do,
or a modal verb.
Yes/no questions always begin with one of
these verbs and can be answered with a
simple yes or no, or with the question repeated
as a statement.

• Question tags are short form at the end of statements.
They are mainly used in speech when we want to confirm
something or when we want to find out if something is
true or not.
- It isn’t a dog, is it?
- They are cats, aren’t they?• Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal
verb from the main sentence and the appropriate subject
pronoun.
- Karen is learning to drive, isn’t she?
- Mark can’t ride a horse, can he?
![Page 26: Types of Questions](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042722/577cc7a71a28aba711a191fe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• We use a negative question tag after a positive sentence.
- Kate will be here soon, won’t she?
- There was a lot of traffic, wasn’t there?
- Michael should pass the exam, shouldn’t he?
• We use a positive question tag after a negative sentence.
- Kate won’t be late, will she?
- They don’t like us, do they?
- You haven’t got a car, have you?
![Page 27: Types of Questions](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042722/577cc7a71a28aba711a191fe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• When the verb of the sentence is in the present or past
simple, we form the question tag with do/does or did and
the subject pronoun.
- John doesn’t like golf, does he?
- They left for Milan, didn’t they?
• When the sentence contains a word with a negative
meaning like never, hardly, seldom or rarely, the
question tag is positive.
- They hardly ever go to the theatre, do they?
- He never plays tennis, does he?

• Intonation
Question tags can either be ‘real’ questions where you
want to know the answer or simply asking for
agreement when we already know the answer.
If the question tag is a real question we use rising
intonation. Our tone of voice rises.
If we already know the answer we use falling
intonation. Our tone of voice falls.
