Choose the alternative that best suits as a question tag for the following sentence :
Don't pick the flowers __________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The best question tag for the sentence "Don't pick the flowers" is: Don't pick the flowers, will you?
Here's why:
- The original sentence is a negative imperative sentence, which means it gives a command in a negative way.
- When forming question tags for negative imperatives, we use a positive auxiliary verb in the interrogative form. In this case, "will" is the suitable auxiliary verb for the second-person singular form ("you").
