Grammar: Question Tags

Question:

Choose the correct question tag?

Options:

He said that, didn't he?

He said that, did he?

She didn't do that, didn't she?

They will come, will they?

Correct Answer:

He said that, didn't he?

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → He said that, didn't he?

Detailed reasoning:

  1. He said that, didn't he?

    • Main clause: He said

    • It is a positive statement, so the tag must be negative: didn't he?

    • This follows the correct question-tag rule.

    • Therefore, this option is correct.

  2. He said that, did he?

    • The statement is positive, so the tag cannot be positive.

    • Incorrect.

  3. She didn't do that, didn't she?

    • Statement is negative (didn't), so the tag must be positive (did she?).

    • Incorrect.

  4. They will come, will they?

    • Statement is positive (will), so the tag must be negative (won’t they?).

    • Incorrect.

Thus, the correct question tag is:

He said that, didn't he?
