CHAPTER 13: TAG QUESTIONS
 CƠ SỞ LÝ THUYẾT
Mệnh đề chính (trước) Phần hỏi đuôi Ví dụ
1. Khẳng định → Phủ định ( hình thức Ex:You were there last weekend,
rút gọn của “NOT”.) weren’t you?
2. Phủ định → Khẳng định Ex1: She isn’t here, is she?
* Một số từ mang nghĩa phủ định: Ex2: He doesn’t go to school every
no one , nobody , nothing, no , day, does he?
never , neither, hardly , scarely , Ex3: He hardly went to the zoo, did
rarely he?
3. + Động từ là “to be”, đặc biệt → Lặp lại các động từ Ex1: You’ve done your homework,
(can, will, would, could, must, này. haven’t you ?
may,..), trợ động từ Ex2: They won’t come here, will
“have/has/had” trong thì HTHT, they?
QKHT. Ex3: They’d better attend the
Note: meeting, hadn’t they?
‘d better = had better
‘d like = would like
‘d rather = would rather
+ Đtừ thường Ex1: You watch TV every day,
→ mượn trợ động don’t you?
- S + V1 từ(do/does/did). Ex2: He speaks English well,
- S + Vs/es → do + S (I, we, you, doesn’t he?
- S + V2/ed they) Ex3: She did her homework last
→ does + S ( he, she, it) ? night, didn’t she?
→ did + S ?
4. Chủ ngữ là tên riêng, danh từ, → Chủ ngữ là đại từ (I, Ex1: Tom would rather go out,
đại từ we, you, they, he, she, it) wouldn’t he?
Ex2: Your father worked late last
night, didn’t he?
5. Nếu chủ ngữ là đại từ chỉ người → chủ ngữ là “they”. Ex7: Nobody came here, didn’t
(everyone, everybody , anybody, they?
anyone, no one , nobody )
6. Nếu chủ ngữ là đại từ chỉ vật → chủ ngữ là “it”. Ex1: Nothing is wrong, is it?
(everything , anything, nothing )
7. - Ngoài các đại từ “ I,we, you, Ex1: There’s so much pollution in
they, he, she, it” chúng ta cũng có the ity, isn’t there?
thể dùng “there”
8. Nếu câu là “ I am...” → Aren’t I? Ex1: I am right, aren’t I?
9. Nếu câu là “mệnh lệnh khẳng → có thể dùng “ will Ex1: Give me your paper, will you?
định” you/can you
10. Khi câu mệnh lệnh ở dạng → chỉ thường dùng “ will
Ex: Don’t forget to post my letter,
phủ định. you?” trong câu hỏi đuôi.
will you?
11. Bắt đầu bằng “ Let’s…” → “ shall we?” Ex: Let’s change the subject, shall
we?
=> Cấu trúc:" I + think/believe/suppose/…." + mệnh đề phụ thì ta dùng động từ trong mệnh đề phụ
để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: I think she will meet him, won't she?

Page 1 CHUYÊN ĐỀ : CÂU HỎI ĐUÔI


Cũng mẫu cấu trúc này nhưng nếu chủ từ không phải là "I" thì dùng động từ chính trong câu
(think/believe/suppose/...) để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: She thinks he will come, dosen’t she?
