Tag Questions

"Tag questions" son preguntas que se usan para confirmar lo que piensas que es verdad.

You speak Spanish, don't you?

(Con esta pregunta indico que pienso que hablas español pero quiero confirmar que es asi.)

Para formar un "tag question" empiezas con la oración que piensas que es verdad ("You speak Spanish"
en el ejemplo arriba). El "tag" (la parte de la oración que hace que sea una pregunta) se forma usando un
verbo auxiliar en el negativo si la oración fue afirmativa o un verbo auxiliar en el afirmativo si la oración
fue negativa. Ve los ejemplos en la tabla abajo.

Oraciones Afirmativas Oraciones Negativas

(El verbo auxiliar en el "tag" es negativo.) (El verbo auxiliar en el "tag" es afirmativo.)
