QUESTION TAGS
Question tag atau tag question adalah kalimat penegasan. Ada beberapa aturan ketika kita membuat question tag yaitu:
1. Apabila kalimatnya positive maka question tag nya negative. Apabila kalimantnya negative maka tagnya positive. Misalnya:
- She rides a bike to school, doesn’t she?
- I didn’t take your pencil, did I?
2. Subject yang digunakan pada kalimat sama dengan subject pada question tag, misalnya: Your mother loves you so much, doesn’t she?
3. Tag harus disingkat sehingga ketika bentuk singkatannya tidak ada maka harus diganti atau dipinjam dari bentuk lain, misalnya : I am a teacher, aren’t I?
4. Tag tersusun dari auxialiary/aux (kata kerja bantu) ditambah subject. Ketika kalimatnya berbeda tenses, maka kata kerja bantunya pun berbeda pula.
Misalnya:
Simple present, aux nya adalah do/don’t, does/doesn’t.
Do/don’t untuk subject I, you, we they.
Does/doesn’t untuk subject he, she, It.
Examples:
- I read your novel, don’t I

- He doesn’t bring the things we need, does he?

Is untuk subject he, she, it
Are untuk subject you, we, they

- We are not laughing at you, are we?
Present perfect aux nya adalah have untuk subject I, you, we, they dan has untuk subject he, she, it.
Examples

Simple past, aux nya adalah did untuk semua subject.
