Question

We could scarcely hear what he said. (Add a question tag)

Your answer


​

Answer 1

We could scarcely hear what he said. Could we?

Explanation:

• Question tags are defined as the interrogative fragments which primarily function to turn a statement, an assertion, or an imperative sentence into a question by being added at the end of the sentence.
• The basic rules of question tag involve:

1). A positive statement always carries a negative question tag, and

2). A negative statement is followed by a positive question tag.

3). The tense of the question tag is based on the tense used in the auxiliary verb preceding it. For example, in the given sentence, 'could' is a modal verb showing past ability, and hence, the question tag will be framed in this tense only.

• The given sentence will have a positive question tag as it denotes a    negative meaning.
• Thus, the final sentence reads as:
• We could scarcely hear what he said. Could we?
