Choose the suitable question tag from the options given below :
Your sister cooks well, ________ ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → doesn't she
Question tags:
- Rule: a positive statement takes a negative tag, and a negative statement takes a positive tag.
- The tag is made of:
- The helping verb of the statement or, when there is none, a form of do.
- A pronoun for the subject.
- This sentence:
- "Your sister cooks well" is positive, so the tag is negative.
- "Cooks" is simple present with no helping verb, so the tag uses does (third person singular).
- "Your sister" becomes she.
- Complete sentence: Your sister cooks well, doesn't she?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: do your — Incorrect.
- The tag must be negative after a positive statement.
- "Do" does not agree with a singular subject, and "your" is a possessive word, not a subject pronoun.
Option 2: not cooks — Incorrect. A tag repeats the helping verb, not the main verb, and it must contain a pronoun.
Option 4: doesn't well — Incorrect. "Well" is an adverb. The tag needs the pronoun "she" after "doesn't".
