How To Have Epic Conversations Everyday As an English Student

Question Tags are a really important part of our conversations. They make the conversation flow way better and make you sound like a native speaker!

A question tag is a short question that is added to the end of a declarative or imperative sentence. The most common form of a question tag is to add “would you?” or “will you?” at the end of a statement.

For example, the statement “You’re coming with us, right?” would be turned into a question by adding the tag “aren’t you?”.

Question tags are used to check if the person you are speaking to agrees with what you have said, or to ask for confirmation. They can also be used to make a request, as in the example above.

In order to form a proper question tag, you need to know two things: the subject of the main clause and the verb that corresponds to it. For example, in the sentence “She’s coming with us, right?”, the subject is “she” and the verb is “is coming”.

This means that we need to use the auxiliary verb “is” in our question tag, which would give us “isn’t she?”.

If there is no auxiliary verb in the main clause, we need to use one of these verbs: do, does, did.

For example, in the sentence “You like ice cream, don’t you?”, there is no auxiliary verb so we use the verb “do”, which gives us “don’t you?”.

Remember, when using question tags we need to match both the subject and verb from the main clause.

If the main clause is in the present tense, the question tag should also be in the present tense. If the main clause is in the past tense, the question tag should also be in the past tense.
