Question tags:
- A question tag is a short question added at the end of a statement to ask for agreement.
- It is made of:
- The helping verb of the statement (or a form of do when there is none).
- A pronoun for the subject.
- A positive statement takes a negative tag, and a negative statement a positive tag.
Example: You are coming with us, aren't you?
(A) She will win the dance. — No question tag.
- A plain statement.
(B) Radha loves to study, doesn't she? — Question tag.
- A positive statement with no helping verb takes the negative tag "doesn't she?"
(C) Who doesn't know how to play cricket in India? — No question tag.
- It is a whole question beginning with "who" (a rhetorical question), not a statement followed by a tag.
(D) Maya cannot cook, can she? — Question tag.
- A negative statement takes the positive tag "can she?"
(E) I don't know how to play cricket. — No question tag.
- A plain negative statement.
