Question tags

Question tags are the short questions that we put on the end of sentences – particularly in spoken English. There are lots of different question tags but the rules are not difficult to learn.

Positive/negative

• If the main part of the sentence is positive, the question tag is negative ….

1.    He’s a doctor, isn’t he?
2.  You work in a bank, don’t you?

• if the main part of the sentence is negative, the question tag is positive.

1.    You haven’t met him, have you?
2.    She isn’t coming, is she?

With ‘I am’

Be careful with question tags with sentences that start ‘I am’. The question tag for ‘I am’ is ‘aren’t I?’

   I’m the fastest, aren’t I?

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.
