Lakshmaiah, Gollapalli
Q. In the 8th class Eng- Text
Book - ''If I were you, I
should stop smoking'' (Not
would) But previously you
wrote that.. ''If I were you, I
would help you''

A. The question tag for, You are taking the


Kurzbach train is 'aren't you?'
However, sometimes, when the listener
does not believe what the speaker says, the
listener, repeats the statement of the speaker, and adds a tag. If the statement of the
speaker is positive, the tag is also positive,
and if the statement of the speaker is negative, the tag is negative too. Look at the following

A. 'If I were you, I should stop smoking'- In this


sentence, 'should' is correct, but not much
used in present day English. In fact, if the
subjects are 'I' and 'We' the verb is 'should +
...' in sentences with Conditional Clauses.
'Should' however, is outdated and in present
day usage 'would' is preferred.
Q. He says that he would help me.
Reported speech
He says, ''I will help
you'' (Direct) correct

e.g. : A: I am the greatest teacher in the


School
B: Oh, you are the greatest teacher, are
you?
e.g. : A: I am not corrupt
B: Oh, you are not corrupt, aren't you?

Remember, this happens only when the listener doesn't believe the speaker and sarcastic

A. 'He says he will help me' is the correct form


of the Indirect speech for He says, 'I will
