Takeaways from This Page

Question tags are short phrases added to statements to seek confirmation or add emphasis. They follow a basic rule: if the statement is positive, the tag is negative, and vice versa. The pronoun and verb in the tag must agree with the subject and tense of the statement. Understanding these patterns and common errors, like mismatched verbs, is essential for correct usage. Practising with exercises such as filling in blanks and correcting mistakes can enhance mastery and improve conversational accuracy.
