Answer 1

TOPIC:- QUESTION TAGS

Required answer:-

• The boys were saving money, weren't they?

Explanation:-

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

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

For example:

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

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

Framing a question tag:

★ The boys were saving money.

1. First, we have to pick out the auxiliary verb. And here the auxiliary verb is “were”.
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. The given sentence is positive. Therefore, negative question tag is required.
3. To make a negative question tag, the pronoun in the sentence should be written next to the auxiliary verb combined with the contracted form of 'not', i.e., like "weren't they".
4. At last, the question tag formed should be added at the end of the sentence, succeeding a comma (,) and preceding a question tag (?).

More information:

✯The word ‘tag’ means a short statement or a group of words added to a statement to make a sense or to ask for confirmation. When the group of words (added to a sentence) helps to make a question, we call it ‘question tag’.

How to form question tags?:

It is pleasant today, isn't it?

1️⃣ The question tag consists of only two words: isn't it? It has the same subject as the statement (it). We use a pronoun of the same person as the subject.

2️⃣ The tense remains the same.

3️⃣ If the statement is positive, the question tag is Negative. If the statement is Negative, the question tag is positive.

Examples:

・We are proud of her, aren't we?

个 个

(positive statement) (negative statement)

・ He haven't brought his box, Have he?

个 个

(negative statement) (positive statement)

4️⃣ We usually use short forms of the Negatives: Haven't, aren't.
