    Lesson 84: You are my friend,

    aren’t you?
    Tag questions
    Objetivo: emplear las preguntas para confirmar información.
    Tag questions
    It’s a special construction added at the end of the Structure:
    sentence. We use it to make sure the information is
    Affirmative sentence + Negative tag
    correct or to seek agreement.
    Today is Monday , isn’t it?
    Negative sentence + Affirmative tag
    Tag
    , + Auxiliary + subject + ? Angie hasn’t arrived yet , has she?
    question
    (Affirmative or negative) We use the auxiliary verb according to the main
    sentence and the same subject (personal nouns are
    usually replaced by personal pronouns.)
     , isn’t it?
     , didn’t you? Example:
     , don’t you?  You live in Bogota ,don’t you?
     , has she?

     Diego hasn’t eaten , has he?


    Tag questions
    Rule Example
    When the tag includes I + be in negative, it can be - I am right, am I not?
    replaced by “aren’t I” in spoken English. - I am right, aren’t I?

    When the sentence has negative words, they take - She had never done that, had she?
    affirmative tag. - Nobody came to the party, did they?
    “They” is usually used in tag questions to refer to
    indefinite pronouns (everyone, everybody, someone, - Everyone had an invitation, didn’t they?
    etc.)
    In sentences with there + be, “there” is also used in the
    - There are many people in the party, aren’t there?
    tag.

    The tag pronoun for this / that is “it”. - This / that is your dictionary, isn’t it?
    The tag pronoun for these / those is “they”. - These / those are Felipe’s shoes, aren’t they?

    - You should pay more attention to your healthy


    Modal verbs are used in the main sentence and in the tag.
    habits, shouldn’t you?
    Tag questions
    Choose the corresponding tag question:

    1. Nobody called, _____________

    a. didn’t they?
    b. did they?

    2. We must not lock the doors,_____________?

    a. must we?
    b. mustn’t we?

    3. He's still sleeping,________________?

    You can do it!
