Question tags worksheet

February 11, 2017 - pdf

Question tags are the small questions that come at the ends of sentences. They are mainly used in informal writing and speech. We use negative tags after affirmative sentences and non-negative tags after negative sentences.

Note that question tags are not used after questions.

Add appropriate question tags to the following sentences.

1. You don’t work on Sundays, .....................?

Correct! Wrong!

We use affirmative question tags after negative verbs.

2. They haven’t forgotten us, ..................... .?

Correct! Wrong!

We use affirmative question tags after negative verbs.

3. There is little point in doing anything about it, .......................?

Correct! Wrong!

Words like hardly and little are negative, so we use an affirmative tag after them.

4. She didn’t recognize him, .......................?

Correct! Wrong!

5. You passed the test, ..................... ..?

Correct! Wrong!

When the sentence is in the simple past tense, we make question tags with did or didn't.

6. They bought a new car last week, .....................?

Correct! Wrong!

7. She wants to be a writer, .......................?

Correct! Wrong!

When the sentence is in the simple present tense, we make question tags with do or does.

8. They make a lot of money, …..................... ..?

Correct! Wrong!

9. No one helped him, .......................?

Correct! Wrong!

Words like no and none are negative, so we use an affirmative tag after them.

10. She knows the answer, ............................?

Correct! Wrong!
