Question

sport the errors The chief guest spoke a few words, did he? ​

Answer 1

The error in the sentence will be is 'did'. The sentence will correctly be written as:

The chief guest spoke a few words, didn't he?

• In the sentence above, a question tag has been added. A question tag is a short question statement that is added to the end of a sentence.
• If the sentence is a positive one, then a negative question tag is added to it and vice versa.
• As the sentence above is a positive one, hence the question tag should be negative. To make the question tag negative, 'didn't he' will be used instead of 'did he'.

Answer 2

Answer:

The error in the sentence is did. the correct statement will be " The chief guest spoke a few words, didn't he?"

Explanation:

• In the given question, we should add a question tag to the given statement so that we can convert it into a question.
• There are certain rules we should follow while writing a question tag. They are

1. We should use the helping verb present in the statement in our question tag.
2. If the sentence is positive then the question tag should be negative.
3. the noun should be converted into a pronoun.
4. we should add a question mark at the end.

• Now let us solve the above statement
• "The chief guest spoke a few words" as the statement is in past tense we will use the helping verb- did.
• the statement is positive so the question tag should be negative. so we should add not to the question tag - didn't.
• so the statement should be - The chief guest spoke a few words, didn't he?
