Question tags
De petites questions en fin de phrase qui sollicitent l’accord : You like tea, don't you?
Règle
Reprends l’auxiliaire (ou do/does/did) et inverse-le : une phrase affirmative prend un tag négatif, une phrase négative un tag affirmatif. Le sujet devient un pronom.
Structure
| Phrase affirmative → tag négatif | ..., isn't it? / ..., don't you? | It's cold, isn't it?You like tea, don't you? |
|---|---|---|
| Phrase négative → tag affirmatif | ..., is it? / ..., do you? | It isn't far, is it?She doesn't drive, does she? |
| Cas particuliers | I am → aren't I?Let's → shall we? | I'm right, aren't I?Let's start, shall we? |
