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.

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

 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.
Examples:
