Tag Questions

From Think and Speak

Tag questions are those little questions such as aren’t I? or wouldn’t you? that we attach to the end of a statement in the hope of confirmation. See if you can dream up tags for these sentences. The sentences come from the novels of Agatha Christie.

1 “Life is full of trials, ________?”

2 “She’s not been kidnapped, ________?”

3 “They keep it in the Tower, ________?”

4 “You'd think so, ________?”

5 “So we can’t go and ask the dog, ________?”

Now see if you can make up sentences for these tags.

Do we. Isn’t it. Wouldn’t she. Must I. Haven’t we. Were we. Has he. Have they. Didn’t he. Oughtn’t it. Can you.
