Add a suitable question tag to the following sentence:
Everybody in our colony enjoys the Holi party, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → don’t they
Question tag after “everybody”:
Words like everybody, everyone, somebody and anyone take “they” in the tag. With “they”, the helping verb is “do”. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative. So the tag is “don’t they”.
Complete sentence: Everybody in our colony enjoys the Holi party, don’t they?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: didn’t they — Incorrect. “Didn’t” goes with a sentence in the past. Example: Everyone enjoyed the Holi party last year, didn’t they?
Option 2: do they — Incorrect. This is a positive tag. It goes with a negative sentence. Example: Nobody likes cold tea, do they?
Option 4: doesn’t it — Incorrect. “It” stands for a thing, not for people. Example: The party starts at noon, doesn’t it?
