Choose the correct question tag to complete the sentence:
Your uncle will be driving us to the airport, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → won’t he
Question tag after “will be + -ing”:
In “will be driving”, the first helping verb is “will”. The tag always repeats the first helping verb, not “be”. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative: “won’t”. “Your uncle” becomes “he”.
Complete sentence: Your uncle will be driving us to the airport, won’t he?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: will he — Incorrect. This is a positive tag. It goes with a negative sentence that has “won’t”. Example: Neeraj won’t miss the bus again, will he?
Option 3: isn’t he — Incorrect. “Isn’t he” goes with a sentence whose first helping verb is “is”. Example: The cook is making puris today, isn’t he?
Option 4: doesn’t he — Incorrect. “Doesn’t” goes with a present verb that has no helping verb. Example: The doctor lives above his clinic, doesn’t he?
