★Defining a Question Tag

• The small question at the end of a statement is called a question tag

For example:-

Meena has written the best essay, hasn't she?

We all are proud of her, aren't we?

• Each of these sentences has two parts: a Statement (Meena has written the best essay) and a short Question (hasn't she?). This short question has been tagged on to the Statement, so it is called a Question Tag,
• Question Tags are used to seek agreement or confirmation about what has been said from the person who is talked to.

★Forming Question Tags

Take the sentence-

Meena has written the best essay for the essay competition, hasn't she?

1. The question tag consists of only two words – hasn't she? It uses the Pronoun of the same person as the Subject: she.
2. The Tense remains the same.

STRUCTURE:-

• ↬Positive Statement + Negative Question Tag

• ↬Negative Statement + Positive Question Tag.

★ Note:-

1. Affirmative Statements have Negative tags and vice versa.
2. Auxiliaries are repeated.
3. For Main Verbs use do, does, did.
4. We usually use shortened or contracted form of the Negatives, isn't, can't doesn't, etc.
5. Certain tags expect responses and certain others do not anticipate responses. This is a note for the spoken form.

6. Finally, add a question [[ ? ]] in the very end of the sentence.
