TAG QUESTIONS

- Câu hỏi đuôi (tag question) là dạng câu hỏi rất hay được sử dụng trong tiếng Anh, đặc biệt là tiếng Anh
giao tiếp. Câu hỏi đuôi là cấu hỏi ngắn ở cuối câu trần thuật. Câu hỏi này được dùng khi người nói muốn
xác minh thông tin là đúng hay không hoặc khi khuyến khích một sự hồi đáp từ phía người nghe.
Ví dụ: She is learning English now, isn't she? (Cô ấy đang học tiếng Anh bây giờ phải không?)
Công thức chung: S + V +……………………., trợ động từ + S( ĐẠI TỪ )
- Nếu câu nói trước dấu phẩy là khẳng định thì câu hỏi đuôi là phủ định và ngược lại.
Dưới đây là bảng tóm tắc cách thành lập câu hỏi đuôi.
