Tag questions

Tag questions - вопросы "с хвостиком"

Что такое Tag questions?

Tag questions  - это когда повествовательное утверждение становится вопросительным при помощи прибавления «Хвостика» (a tag), который при переводе будет звучать «не так ли?»

Как образуются Tag questions?

Есть простое правило:

• если в главном (повествовательном) предложении глагол стоит в отрицательной форме, то "хвостик" ставим положительный, и наоборот: если в главное - положительное, то "хвостик" — в отрицании. Мы называем это правилом "батарейки".

He is at school, isn't he?

• если подлежащее выражено существительным, то в "хвостике" мы заменяем его на местоимение.

Peter doesn't go to school, does he?

• отрицание в "хвостике" в том же времени, в каком стоит главное предложение. Обрати внимание, что в хвостике мы используем только вспомогательные глаголы.

He is watching TV, isn't he?

She played the guitar, didn't she? 

They will go to the cinema, won't they?

Your parents haven't bought a new car, have they?
