The dog can’t hear us, can it? Cathy shouldn’t talk to me like that, should she?
To make a question tag, we use an auxiliary verb (be, have, do, will), and a pronoun (you, he, she, it) to match the subject of the sentence.
If there is a modal auxiliary (can, should, must) in the first part of the sentence, we repeat it in the tag.
We add question tags to the end of sentences to
check and ask for agreement:
Bill doesn’t eat meat, does he?
(the expected answer is ‘No, he doesn’t.’)
ask for an answer when we are not sure:
You haventaskt been to Malta, have you?
(the answer is either taskYes, I have.’ or ‘No, I haven’t.’)
make a polite, informal request for help (always negative + affirmative tag):
You cantaskt give me a lift to the station, can you?
1 Intonation and question tags
To know if a question tag is asking for agreement or asking a question, listen carefully to the speaker’s intonation.
asking for agreement:
Ittasks a beautiful day today, isn’t it 1?
asking a question:
You don’t use the euro in Poland, do you T?
2 Irregular or unusual question tags
