Select the most suitable option to fill in the blank:
Some of you are learning Russian ________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → aren't you?
Question tags:
- A positive statement takes a negative tag.
- The tag repeats the auxiliary verb of the statement and uses a pronoun for the subject.
- This sentence: the subject is "some of you", the auxiliary is "are", and the statement is positive, so the tag is "aren't you?".
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: hasn't he? — Incorrect. The auxiliary is "are", not "has", and the subject is "you", not "he".
Option 2: haven't you? — Incorrect. The pronoun is right, but the statement has "are", not "have".
Option 3: hadn't they? — Incorrect. Both the auxiliary ("had") and the pronoun ("they") are wrong.
