B. NGỮ PHÁP:
I. TAG QUESTION (CÂU HỎI ĐUÔI) 
1. Quy tắc chung:
- Câu nói và phần đuôi luôn ở dạng đối nhau
Câu nói khẳng định, đuôi phủ định?
Câu nói phủ định, đuôi khẳng định?
Ví dụ:
          The children are playing in the yard, aren’t they?
          They can’t swim, can they?
  Câu giới thiệu dùng “I am”, câu hỏi đuôi là “aren’t I”
Ví dụ:      
         I am a student, aren’t I?
 Câu giới thiệu dùng Let’s, câu hỏi đuôi là “Shall we”
Ví dụ:    
         Let’s go for a picnic, shall we?
  Chủ ngữ là những đại từ bất định “Everyone, someone, anyone, no one, nobody…”
câu hỏi đuôi là “they”
Ví dụ:     
           Somebody wanted a drink, didn’t they?
           Nobody phoned, did they?
 Chủ ngữ là “nothing” thì câu hỏi đuôi dùng “it”. Và Nothing là chủ ngữ có nghĩa là
mệnh đề giới thiệu đang ở dạng phủ định, câu hỏi đuôi sẽ ở dạng khẳng định.
Ví dụ:  
          Nothing can happen, can it?
  Trong câu có các trạng từ phủ định và bán phủ định như: never, seldom, hardly,
scarely, little… thì câu đó được xem như là câu phủ định – phần hỏi đuôi sẽ ở dạng
khẳng định
Ví dụ:     
          He seldom drinks wine, does he?
 Câu đầu có It seems that + mệnh đề, lấy mệnh đề làm câu hỏi đuôi
Ví dụ:    
          It seems that you are right, aren’t you ?

Ví dụ:               
          What you have said is wrong, isn’t it ?
          Why he killed himself seems a secret, doesn’t it ?
 Sau câu mệnh lệnh cách (Do…/Don’t do v.v… ),  câu hỏi đuôi thường là … will
you?:
Ví dụ:               
         Open the door, will you?
         Don’t be late, will you?
 Câu đầu là I WISH, dùng MAY trong câu hỏi đuôi
Ví dụ:      
                        I wish to study English, may I ?
 Câu đầu có MUST, must có nhiều cách dùng cho nên tùy theo cách dùng mà sẽ có
câu hỏi đuôi khác nhau
Must chỉ sự cần thiết: => dùng needn’t
Ví dụ:    
          They must study hard, needn’t they?
 Câu cảm han, lấy danh từ trong câu đổi thành đại từ, [ ] dùng is, am, are
Ví dụ:             
         What a beautiful dress, isn’t it?
         How intelligent you are, aren’t you?
 Câu đầu có I + các động từ sau: think, believe, suppose, figure, assume, fancy,
imagine, reckon, expect, seem, feel + mệnh đề phụ, lấy mệnh đề phụ làm câu hỏi
đuôi.
Ví dụ:             
          I think he will come here, won’t he?
          I don’t believe Mary can do it, can she?

The two children have been in London. They were surprised at the crowds everywhere.
They decided to travel on the tube railway. They found that they had to be quick and get on
the train or it would go off without them.
One day they went to Hype Park and walked along on the grass to Kensington Gardens in
bright autumn sunshine. This was different from the crowded streets, and Mary said that it
was like being back home. The leaves of the great trees were turning red, brown and yellow,
birds were flying about, there were lots of flowers and ducks swimming about on the Round
