Tag Questions

Las tag questions son preguntas cortas que añadimos al final de una oración para confirmar información o pedir la opinión de alguien. Se usan mucho en conversaciones informales.

Cómo formar una Tag Question:

1. Usa el auxiliar del verbo principal de la oración:

   • Si la oración es afirmativa, la tag será negativa.
     Ejemplo: You are a student, aren't you?
   • Si la oración es negativa, la tag será afirmativa.
     Ejemplo: She isn't here, is she?

2. El sujeto debe coincidir con el de la oración principal: Ejemplo:

   • They like pizza, don't they?
   • He doesn't play soccer, does he?

3. El verbo en la tag depende del tiempo verbal de la oración principal:
   Ejemplo:

   • Presente simple: You live here, don't you?
   • Pasado simple: He went to the party, didn't he?
   • Presente perfecto: She has finished her homework, hasn't she?

Ejemplos de Tag Questions:

• It’s cold today, isn’t it?
• You don’t like coffee, do you?
• They can swim very well, can’t they?
• We weren’t late, were we?
