Thank you very much my dear pupils for your answers which most of them are correct
Well,a tag question is a short question that we put at the end of a statement either
to get information about someting or to confirm your information about it
When the speaker doesn't really know the answer of that tag question,his
intonation is up,but if he knows the answer and he wants confirmation,his intonation is down
Examples
You are my best friend,aren't you?
It is not late,is it?
My mother doesn't like movies,does she?
It's a nice day,isn't it? This is an example of a falling intonation because both the speaker
and the listener see that it is a nice day.So,the speaker,here,wants confirmation
Soleil D'or doesn't like the yellow colour,does she? This is an example of an up intonation
because I don't know if Soleil D'or likes the yellow colour or not.So, I want,here, an answer
The remark that you can notice concerning tag questions is that when the statement is positive,the tag
question is negative and when the statement is negative,the tag question is positive
Mind these cases
When the statement starts by : Let's,the tag question is : shall we?
Example: Let's correct the exercise,shall we?
When the statement starts by a verb or : Don't,the tag question is will you?
Examples
Shut the door,will you?
Don't repeat that,will you?
When the statement starts by: I am,the tag question is : aren't I? But it shouldn't be negative
Example: I am tired today,aren't I?
