Choose the correct question tag for the given sentence. Gopi broke th…

The correct answer is Option (2) → didn't he?

Question tags:

• Rule: a positive statement takes a negative tag, and a negative statement takes a positive tag.
• The tag is made of:
  • The helping verb of the statement (did for the simple past when there is none).
  • A pronoun for the subject.
• This sentence: "Gopi broke the glass" is positive and in the simple past, and Gopi is "he", so the tag is didn't he?

Complete sentence: Gopi broke the glass, didn't he?

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: did he? — Incorrect. A positive tag follows a negative statement. "Gopi broke the glass" is positive.

Option 3: did they? — Incorrect. "They" does not stand for one person, Gopi, and the tag should be negative.

Option 4: is he? — Incorrect. "Is" is the present of "be". The statement uses a past action verb, which takes "did".

Contrast: a positive statement takes a negative tag ("didn't he?"). A negative statement takes a positive tag ("did he?").
