Answer 2

Given sentence:

• She was pretty.

To do:

• Add a question tag to the given sentence.

Concept:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎$\underline{\boxed{\frak{Question\:Tag}}}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎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), used to make a verification in a questioning way.

$\rightarrowtail$ General structure:-

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

$\rightarrowtail$ Examples:-

• It was brought by her yesterday, wasn't it?
• She brought it yesterday, didn't she?

Required answer:

• She was pretty, $\underline{\sf{\red{wasn't\:she?}}}$

Explanation:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Here, the given statement is a postive statement. So, the question tag that should be formed must be in negative. To make the question tag, first let us find the 'modal verb'. And here, the modal verb is "was". Then we've to spot the pronoun. The 'pronoun' in the given sentence is "she". Now, the question tag can be formed by placing the pronoun next to the modal verb. The modal verb is added with the contracted form of "not" to make it negative $\rightarrow$ "wasn't she". Finally, question mark is added at the end.
