 INTONATION

Back to the aim of the usage of question tags, that is to ask for information or
confirmation. When the question tag is used to ask for information, speaker position
is
“He/She doesn’t know whether the information is right or wrong”. And you want
to know the answer. In this condition, question tags is given a pressure with rising
intonation.
 INTONATION

Otherwise, when the Tag is used to ask for confirmation the speaker convinces that
the known- information is true. At that time the speaker just expect the answer to
support his convincing, question tag is expressed with falling intonation
 CONCLUSIO
N
Question tags is a very common used in English daily conversation. The sentence
pattern of question tags is used to ask for confirmation from the listeners about
something uncertain for the speaker.
By learning question tags, people can understand how to express confirmation
or asking for information in English. Not just to understand, but to be a good speaker
with using a good sentence. We hope that our paper can explain to the reader relate
to question tag how to express it in a sentence.
