What are Question Tags?
Question Tags are short questions added to the end of statements to ask for confirmation or agreement.
「附加問句」是加在陳述句後面的簡短問句,用來尋求確認或同意。
Basic Rules:
-
If the main statement is positive, the question tag is usually negative.
如果主要陳述句是肯定的,附加問句通常是否定的。
Example: You like coffee, don't you?
-
If the main statement is negative, the question tag is usually positive.
如果主要陳述句是否定的,附加問句通常是肯定的。
Example: You don't like tea, do you?
-
The auxiliary verb in the question tag matches the verb in the main statement.
附加問句中的助動詞要與主要陳述句中的動詞一致。
Example: She has finished, hasn't she?
-
If there's no auxiliary verb in the main statement, use do/does/did in the question tag.
如果主要陳述句中沒有助動詞,在附加問句中使用do/does/did。
Example: You went there, didn't you?
