Grammar: Question Tags

Question:

Pick out the correct question tag for the following sentence:

You don't know where he went,

Options:

do you?

isn't it?

don't you?

are you?

Correct Answer:

do you?

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → do you?

Here's why: * **Question tags** are used to turn a statement into a question for confirmation or to seek information. * We choose the question tag based on the auxiliary verb (or tense) in the main statement. * In the sentence "You don't know where he went," the auxiliary verb is "don't" (negative form of "do"). * To create a question tag, we use the opposite of the auxiliary verb ("do" in this case) and match the subject (you). Therefore, the correct question tag is "do you?"
