Choose the correct question tag to complete the sentence:
Kavya hasn’t returned my chemistry notes yet, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → has she
Question tag after “hasn’t”:
The helping verb here is “has”, used in its negative form “hasn’t”. So the sentence is negative. A negative sentence takes a positive tag, so the tag repeats “has” without “not”. “Kavya” becomes “she”.
Complete sentence: Kavya hasn’t returned my chemistry notes yet, has she?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: hasn’t she — Incorrect. This is a negative tag. It goes with a positive sentence. Example: Meena has packed her bag for the trip, hasn’t she?
Option 3: did she — Incorrect. “Did she” goes with a negative sentence that has “didn’t”. Example: Asha didn’t reply to my message, did she?
Option 4: is she — Incorrect. “Is she” goes with a negative sentence that has “isn’t”. Example: Divya isn’t in the canteen, is she?
