Out of the four alternatives, choose the one which fits best as a question tag for the following phrase :-
Let's go for a walk, ________ ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Let's go for a walk, shall we?
Question tag after "Let's":
- A sentence beginning with Let's (let us) is a suggestion that includes the speaker.
- Such a suggestion always takes the tag shall we?, which invites the listener to agree.
- This sentence: "Let's go for a walk, shall we?"
Example: Let's start the meeting, shall we?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Let's go for a walk, can we ? — Incorrect. "Can we" asks about ability or permission; it is not the tag used with a "Let's" suggestion.
Option 3: Let's go for a walk, do we ? — Incorrect. "Do" is the helping verb for simple present statements, not for a suggestion with "Let's".
Option 4: Let's go for a walk, don't we ? — Incorrect. "Don't we" would follow a positive statement in the simple present ("We go there often, don't we?"), not a suggestion.
