Question Tags Questions
The rules for using question tags in descriptive sentences are as follows:
1. If the main sentence is positive, the question tag is negative. Example: "She is a doctor, isn't she?"
2. If the main sentence is negative, the question tag is positive. Example: "He didn't go to the party, did he?"
3. The auxiliary verb used in the question tag should match the tense of the main sentence. Example: "They have finished their work, haven't they?"
4. If there is no auxiliary verb in the main sentence, we use the appropriate form of the verb "do" in the question tag. Example: "She likes ice cream, doesn't she?"
5. The pronoun used in the question tag should match the subject of the main sentence. Example: "You are coming, aren't you?"
6. In imperative sentences, we use the question tag "will you?" Example: "Open the window, will you?"
7. In sentences with "let's," the question tag is "shall we?" Example: "Let's go for a walk, shall we?"
