Choose the correct question tag to complete the sentence:
There is no water left in the cooler, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → is there
Question tag after a “There is no ...” sentence:
When a sentence begins with “There is”, the tag also uses “there”. The word “no” makes this sentence negative. A negative sentence takes a positive tag. So the tag is “is there”.
Complete sentence: There is no water left in the cooler, is there?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: isn’t there — Incorrect. This is a negative tag. It goes with a positive sentence. Example: There is a bank near the station, isn’t there?
Option 3: isn’t it — Incorrect. The tag must repeat “there”, not “it”. Example: It is very hot today, isn’t it?
Option 4: is it — Incorrect. The tag is positive, but it uses “it” in place of “there”. Example: It isn’t your bag, is it?
