What is question tag??

• A question tag is a grammatical structure in which a declarative or an imperative statement is turned into a question by the addition of an interrogative fragment (the "tag").

What are example of question tag??

• In grammar, a question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement which changes the statement into a question. For example, in 'She said half price, didn't she?' , the words 'didn't she' are a question tag.

Why we add question tag??

• We add question tags to the end of statements to turn them into questions. They are used in spoken language, especially when we want to check something is true, or invite people to agree with us. We add a clause in the form of a question at the end of a sentence.

➥Note

• If the statement is negative, the tag must be positive. If the statement is positive the tag must be negative

• The tense of the tag is determined by the tense of the auxiliary/modal verb of the statement that precedes it.

Put question tag:

• The boys were playing in the field.

Before to the answer, let's understand topic first !!

$\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\: \\ \large{\boxed{\sf{Question\:tag:}}}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎A Question Tag is a small question added at the end of a statement to make a confirmation or an agreement.

Examples:-

• Kavin can do it, can't he?
• She ran away, didn't she?

$\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\: \\ \large{\boxed{\sf{Rules\:to\:make\:a\: question\:tag:}}}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}$

• If the statement is negative, then the question tag must be in positive.
• If the statement is positive, then the question tag must be in negative.
• The tense of the question tag is fixed by the tense of the modal verb in the statement.
• The auxiliary verb with the pronoun forms a question tag.
• In case, if the statement does not have a modal verb then the auxiliary 'to do'- (do, did, does) must be used.

$\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\: \\ \large{\boxed{\sf{Structure:}}}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}$

• Positive Statement + Negative question tag
• Negative Statement + Positive question tag
