WEEK TWO
PERIOD 1
GRAMMAR (QUESTION TAGS REVIEW)

Questions tags are used to get the person we are talking to, to confirm that what we are saying is correct.
The statement is turned round so that the subject follows the auxiliary/modal verb, like thus ‘We’re
going, aren’t we?
If the statement is positive, the question tag is negative e.g. We’re very happy, aren’t we?
If the statement is negative, the question tag is positive e.g. we’re not very happy, are we?
Sometimes, the statement does not use auxiliary for example, we may say:
They ate rice and beans last Thursday.
If we want that statement confirmed, we have to supply the auxiliary by imagining that they are takes
the form they did eat. Now it is possible to form a question tag:
They ate rice and beans last Thursday, didn’t they?

and attractive.

take advice from people, but that he/she over looks people. It is this flaw of pride that will eventually lead
the character to his down fail.
