Choose the correct question tag?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → He said that, didn't he?
Detailed reasoning:
-
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.
-
-
He said that, did he?
-
The statement is positive, so the tag cannot be positive.
-
Incorrect.
-
-
She didn't do that, didn't she?
-
Statement is negative (didn't), so the tag must be positive (did she?).
-
Incorrect.
-
-
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?
