Question

mother did not see it (add question tag)​

Answer 1

TOPIC:- QUESTION TAGS

Required answer:

• Mother did not see it, did she?

Explanation:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎A question tag is small group of two words which is added at the end of a sentence, to make a verification in a questioning manner. Its general structures are:

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

Here are a few examples!

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

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

Formation of question tag:

$\dashrightarrow$ Mother did not see it.

1. First, we have to pick out the auxiliary verb. And here the auxiliary verb is “did”.
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 negative. So, positive question tag is required.
3. To make a positive question tag, the pronoun in the sentence or the suitable pronoun to the subject should written next to the auxiliary verb, like "did she". Here the pronoun "she" has been used since the subject refers feminine gender.
4. At last, the question tag formed should be added in the sentence succeeding a comma (,) and preceding a question tag (?).

This is how we've formed the answer!
