TQ with be

In this blog you will learn to use Tag question with be, in an easy and entertainment  way.

 

  Tag questions are short phrases or questions (mini-questions) that are placed at the end of a sentence affirmative or negative and generally aim to confirm or deny the content of the phrase itself. It is equivalent to ¿verdad? in Spanish or ¿no? most used in countries of America.

 In simple words:

We must pay attention to the statement that is what will give us the key to that is simple and easy. In the example above is telling us who´s talking about; in this case "you" and the verb to be "are." So, we place it in contrast and in this case we changed from positive to negative (and vice versa can be either case). And that´s it.

 

EXAMPLES

1. She is beautiful, isn’t she?

1. Laura is beautiful, isn’t she?

2. He isn’t smart, is he?

2. Carlos isn’t smart, is he?

 

 

3. It’s a sweltering day, isn’t it?

3. Today is a sweltering day, isn’t it?

4. They aren’t sisters, are they?

4. Sandra and Lisa aren’t sisters, are they?

5. We are Ok, aren’t we?

5. Claudia and I are Ok, aren’t we?

Notice that before the tag question we use a comma, and also at the end of the tag question we use a question mark.

 

REMEMBER THIS   
the tag question always use the auxiliary verbs

      With affirmative sentences we use a negative tag question
      with negative sentences we use an affirmative tag question

TRY It.
