Câu hỏi đuôi gồm 2 phần: phần chứa thông tin chính và phần đuôi, ngăn cách nhau bởi dấu phẩy ‘,’, ta trả
lời “Yes/No”. Thông thường khi phần chính ở dạng khẳng định thì phần đuôi ở thể phủ định và ngược lại.
e.g. This picture is a portrait, isn't it?

(Cùng thì hiện tại đơn, động từ thường)
This picture isn't a portrait, is it?
