Explanation:

★Defining a Question Tag

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

For example:-

1. Meena has written the best essay, hasn't she?
2. 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-

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

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

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.

Answer 2

TOPIC:- QUESTION TAGS

Required answer:-

• You didn't play tennis last week, did you?

Step-by-step explanation:-

‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎A question tag is small group of two words which is added at the 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.

Here are a few examples!

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

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

How to form a question tag?

$\bigstar$ You didn't play tennis last week.

1. First, we have to pick out the auxiliary verb. And here the auxiliary verb is “did”.
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. According to this, we have classified the given sentence as negative. So, positive question tag is required.
3. To make a positive question tag, the pronoun in the sentence (or the suitable pronoun to the subject) should be written next to the auxiliary verb, i.e., like "did you".
4. At last, the question tag formed should be added at the end of the sentence, succeeding a comma (,) and preceding a question tag (?).
