REVIEW OF QUESTION TAGS
Dialog: "You are confused, aren't you?"
Question tags are mini questions that we put at the end of a sentence in spoken English. We use auxiliary verbs, (do, be, have, etc.) to create a question tag. We use a negative question tag after a positive sentence, and a positive question tag after a negative sentence.
If your voice goes down while saying a question tag, you are not really asking a question, but inviting the listener to agree with you.
- This is a great song, isn't it? (it is a great song)
- They haven't finished writing the report, have they? (the report hasn't been finished)
- Jim didn't buy the champagne, did he? (the champagne wasn't bought)
If your voice goes up while saying a question tag, you are asking a real question.
- You haven't got a pair of scissors with you, have you? (you don't know if the person has scissors)
- You don't happen to know where Rebecca is, do you? (you really don't know where Rebecca is)
- The Robinsons left for Argentina yesterday, didn't they? (you don't know if they left or not)
