Question

Add an appropriate question tag:
You enjoyed the movie, _____
a- did you?
b- have you?
c- aren’t you?
d- didn’t you?

Answer 1

Hint: We use question tags to convert a statement into a question. Question tags are usually formed by using the auxiliary verb given in the sentence.

Complete answer:
As given in the hint, question tags are formed with the help of an auxiliary verb and the subject.
Let’s look at the structure and usage of different question tags-
Structure- Auxiliary verb + subject/ Auxiliary verb + not + subject
We use positive question tags for negative sentences. For example- He doesn’t study here, does he?
We use negative question tags for positive sentences. For example- She is going, isn’t she?
In case no auxiliary verb is given, we use the form of ‘do’ for past tense and the form of ‘to be’. For example- He likes to cook food, doesn’t he?
In the given question- We can conclude that X asked Y; You enjoyed the movie, didn’t you? Here, we have used ‘didn’t you’ because it is a positive statement.
Now, let’s examine the given options-
Option a- ‘did you?’ is an incorrect option because we cannot use a positive question tag with a positive statement.
Option b- ‘have you?’ is an incorrect option because we cannot use a positive question tag with a positive statement.
Option c- ‘aren’t you?’ is an incorrect option because we cannot use ‘aren’t’ in the given context.
Option d- ‘didn’t you?’ is the correct option because we use a negative tag with positive statements. The correct answer is Option ‘d’.

Note:
Keep in mind, we can also use modal verbs to form the question tags. For example- They could stay here, couldn’t they?
