Choose the correct question tag to complete the sentence:
Your grandmother waters the tulsi plant every morning, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → doesn’t she
Question tag after a simple present verb:
“Waters” is in the simple present and has no helping verb. So the tag uses “do” or “does”. With he, she or it, the tag takes “does”. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative. “Your grandmother” becomes “she”.
Complete sentence: Your grandmother waters the tulsi plant every morning, doesn’t she?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: don’t she — Incorrect. “Don’t” goes with I, we, you, they and plural nouns, not with “she”. Example: Your parents work in Nagpur, don’t they?
Option 3: isn’t she — Incorrect. “Isn’t” is the tag only when the sentence has “is”. Example: Your aunt is a nurse in Lucknow, isn’t she?
Option 4: does she — Incorrect. This is a positive tag. It goes with a negative sentence. Example: Meera doesn’t drink tea, does she?
