Question tags
Pequeñas preguntas al final de una oración que buscan confirmación: You like tea, don't you?
Regla
Repite el auxiliar, o usa do/does/did, e invierte la polaridad: una oración afirmativa lleva una question tag negativa y una negativa lleva una question tag afirmativa. El sujeto se convierte en pronombre.
Fórmula
| Afirmativa → question tag negativa | ..., isn't it? / ..., don't you? | It's cold, isn't it?You like tea, don't you? |
|---|---|---|
| Negativa → question tag afirmativa | ..., is it? / ..., do you? | It isn't far, is it?She doesn't drive, does she? |
| Casos especiales | I am → aren't I?Let's → shall we? | I'm right, aren't I?Let's start, shall we? |
Errores frecuentes
Incorrecto: You like tea, isn't it?Correcto: You like tea, don't you?La question tag repite el auxiliar de la oración principal.
Notas
- Entonación descendente = esperas confirmación; entonación ascendente = es una pregunta real
