[QUOTE="Fırat, post: 2115, member: 34"] [COLOR="red"][B]You speak English, don't you?[/B][/COLOR] A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The whole sentence is a "tag question", and the mini-question at the end is called a "question tag". We use tag questions at the end of statements to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "[B]Am I right?[/B]" or "[B]Do you agree?[/B]" They are very common in English. [COLOR="seagreen"][SIZE="3"][B]The basic structure is:[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [IMG]http://forum.akademikpersonel.org/firat/Grammer/Tag%20Questions/Tag%20Questions.gif[/IMG] [COLOR="red"]Look at these examples [/COLOR]with [B]positive statements[/B]: [IMG]http://forum.akademikpersonel.org/firat/Grammer/Tag%20Questions/Tag%20Questions%202.gif[/IMG] [COLOR="red"]Look at these examples [/COLOR]with [B]negative statements[/B]: [IMG]http://forum.akademikpersonel.org/firat/Grammer/Tag%20Questions/Tag%20Questions%203.gif[/IMG] [COLOR="seagreen"][SIZE="3"] Some special cases:[/SIZE][/COLOR] [IMG]http://forum.akademikpersonel.org/firat/Grammer/Tag%20Questions/Tag%20Questions%204.gif[/IMG] [COLOR="red"]Here are some mixed examples:[/COLOR] * But you don't really love her, [B]do you?[/B] * This will work, [B]won't it?[/B] * Well, I couldn't help it, [B]could I?[/B] * But you'll tell me if she calls, [B]won't you?[/B] * We'd never have known, [B]would we?[/B] * The weather's bad, [B]isn't it?[/B] * You won't be late, [B]will you?[/B] * Nobody knows, [B]do they?
