19. Question Tags





          A question tag is followed by a ? It is separated from the statement with the


          comma. The Subject of the statement can be noun or pronoun but the subject of

          a question is always a pronoun.



          Read the below set of sentences.





















                           Rohit is unwell.                                  She doesn't eat chocolates.

                      Rohit is unwell, isn't he   ?                   She doesn't eat chocolates, does she          ?


                Sometimes we change a statement into a question. Here the words, isn't he


          and does she       are used to change the statements into  questions.


                A positive statement        takes a negative       question tag.



                For example :     (i)  You can sing, can't you?


                                  (ii) The children are studying, aren't they            ?



                      A negative statement         takes a positive question tag         .
