“QUESTIONS TAGS WITH BE, DO AND OTHER”

SIMPLE PRESENT AND SIMPLE PAST TENSES AND OTHER TENSES AND MODAL VERBS
(Adapted from G.3.U5.OUP-Grammar in Use)

Look again the image and analyze these example situations identifying the information in context.

“Question Tags” or “Tag Questions” turn a statement into a question. A Question Tag is a question added to a
declarative sentence, usually at the end, to engage the listener, verify that something has been understood,
or confirm that an action has occurred. That is, they are often used for checking information that we think we
know is true.
