Add the appropriate question tag from the given options.
It isn't ready yet, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → is it ?
Question tags:
- A question tag repeats the helping verb of the statement and uses a pronoun for the subject.
- Polarity is reversed:
- Positive statement → negative tag.
- Negative statement → positive tag.
- This sentence: "It isn't ready yet" is negative and its verb is is, so the tag is positive: is it?
Complete sentence: It isn't ready yet, is it?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: did it ? — Incorrect. "did" is past and belongs to sentences with a main verb in the simple past. The statement uses "is".
Option 2: hasn't it ? — Incorrect.
- "has" does not match the verb "is".
- A negative statement needs a positive tag, not "hasn't".
Option 4: can't it — Incorrect. The statement has no "can", and the tag after a negative statement must be positive.
