Add a question tag to the following. Choose the appropriate answer from below :
Your brother Raju plays the drums very well _______ ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → doesn't he
Question tag after a positive statement:
- A positive statement takes a negative tag.
- The tag repeats the helping verb. When the verb is in the simple present with no helping verb, do/does is used.
- This sentence: "plays" is simple present, third person singular, so does, negative: doesn't. The pronoun for "your brother Raju" is he.
- Complete sentence: Your brother Raju plays the drums very well, doesn't he?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: don't he — Incorrect. "Don't" goes with I/we/you/they. A singular subject (he) needs doesn't.
Option 2: won't he — Incorrect. "Won't" would need "will" in the statement. "Plays" is present tense.
Option 4: can't he — Incorrect. "Can't" would need "can" in the statement (Raju can play ...).
