Tag Question


Tag question is a special grammatical structure. It’s a statement followed by a tag or a mini question.

We add a tag at the end of some statements to get a response.

It means something like "Do you agree with me?" or "Am I right?"


- To make a tag, use the same auxiliary verb found in the statement.

- If there is no auxiliary verb, use DoDoes, and Did.

- If the statement is in positive form, make a negative tag but if the statement is in negative, make a positive tag.
