Add a suitable question tag to the following sentence:
Aunt Lata teaches Bharatanatyam to small children, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → doesn’t she
Question tag after a simple present verb:
“Teaches” is in the simple present and has no helping verb. So the tag uses “do” or “does”. With he, she or it, the tag takes “does”. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative. “Aunt Lata” becomes “she”.
Complete sentence: Aunt Lata teaches Bharatanatyam to small children, doesn’t she?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: isn’t she — Incorrect. “Isn’t” is the tag only when the sentence has “is”. Example: Your aunt is a doctor in Indore, isn’t she?
Option 2: don’t she — Incorrect. “Don’t” goes with I, we, you, they and plural nouns. Example: Your cousins live in Surat, don’t they?
Option 4: didn’t she — Incorrect. “Didn’t” goes with a past verb such as “taught”. Example: Neha taught us a new game yesterday, didn’t she?
