Hi! I’m Tom. And today I’m going to show you how to use tag questions.

We use tag questions to ask for confirmation.

For example: It’s a melon, isn’t it?

Isn’t it has a similar meaning to ‘do you agree’.

When the statement is positive, we make a negative question. And, when the statement is negative, we make a positive question.

It isn’t a banana, is it?

We can use other auxiliary verbs with tag questions. And these show a change in tense and meaning.

For example: You won’t eat my melon, will you?

When there is no auxiliary verb, we make a question using ‘do’.

Elly, you really like melons, don’t you?

She really does!

用法總結(jié)

1. 反意疑問句的基本結(jié)構(gòu)是：陳述部分＋疑問部分。疑問部分可用系動詞 “be” 以及 “can”、“should”、“will” 等助動詞，或動詞 “do”，這些動詞根據(jù)陳述部分的時態(tài)和含義變化。

• It’s a melon, isn’t it?
• We should go to work tomorrow, shouldn’t we?
• You really like melons, don’t you?

2. 反意疑問句通常用來向他人求證一件事情，其疑問部分可以理解為 “是這樣嗎” 或 “你同意嗎”。

• It’s cold, isn’t it? 
• He can’t swim, can he?

3. 通常情況下，如果反意疑問句的前半句為否定式，疑問部分則應(yīng)為肯定式。

• It isn’t a banana, is it?
• You won’t eat my melon, will you?
• She doesn’t like melons, does she?
