…, isn't it?

附加問句

Tag questions — English grammar, junior high

接續

肯定句＋否定附加問句（It's hot, isn't it?）・否定句＋肯定附加問句（You don't eat pork, do you?）

positive sentence + negative tag (It's hot, isn't it?) · negative sentence + positive tag (You don't eat pork, do you?)

說明

在句子後面加一個短問句來確認：前面肯定、後面就否定，反之亦然。附加問句用前面的助動詞或 be 動詞，一般動詞就用 do／does／did，主詞換成代名詞：Your sister lives in Taichung, doesn't she?

A short question at the end checks something: a positive sentence takes a negative tag and vice versa. Use the same helping verb or be — or do / does / did — with a pronoun: Your sister lives in Taichung, doesn't she?

注意事項

I am 的附加問句是 aren't I：I'm right, aren't I?
I am takes aren't I: I'm right, aren't I?
Let's … 的附加問句是 shall we：Let's go, shall we?
Let's … takes shall we: Let's go, shall we?
