‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎★ Question Tag ★

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎It is a small group of two words which is added at the end of a sentence (either an assertive sentence or an imperative sentence), to make a verification in a questioning manner.

$\maltese$ General structure:-

• Positive statement + comma (,) + negative question tag + question mark.
• Negative statement + comma (,) + positive question tag + question mark.

$\maltese$ Examples:-

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(a) It was brought by her yesterday, wasn't it?

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(b) She brought it yesterday, didn't she?

$\maltese$ Forming a question tag:-

Let's take the third question as an example to understand this part of the topic!

$\dashrightarrow$ Your book is widely read.

1. First, we have to pick out the auxiliary verb. And here the auxiliary verb is “is”.
2. Secondly, we have to check whether the given sentence is positive or negative. Positive statement should be attached with negative question tag and vice-versa. According to this, the given sentence is positive. So, negative question tag is required.
3. To make a negative question tag, the contract form of "not" should be joined with the auxiliary verb $\rightarrow$ “isn't”
4. Next, the pronoun in the sentence or the suitable pronoun to the subject should written next to "isn't it", i.e., like isn't it.
5. At last, the question tag formed should be added in the sentence succeeding a comma (,) and preceding a question tag (?).
