Choose the correct question tag to complete the sentence:
Ayaan will be playing in the inter-school football final, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → won’t he
Question tag after “will be”:
In “will be playing”, the first helping verb is “will”. The tag repeats the first helping verb. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative: “won’t”, the short form of “will not”.
Complete sentence: Ayaan will be playing in the inter-school football final, won’t he?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: isn’t he — Incorrect. “Isn’t” goes with a sentence whose first helping verb is “is”. Example: Your brother is coming home for Diwali, isn’t he?
Option 3: will he — Incorrect. This is a positive tag. It goes with a negative sentence. Example: He won’t miss the final, will he?
Option 4: doesn’t he — Incorrect. “Doesn’t” goes with a present sentence that has no helping verb, like “plays”. Example: Varun plays football every evening, doesn’t he?
