● I ​have​ to listen to this new song, ​haven’t​ I?
● She ​was​ listening to soft music online, ​wasn’t​ she?
● Aren’t ​you a Spotify user,​ are​ you?
● Didn’t​ you switch from Spotify to Accuradio, ​did​ you?

Speakers can also use modal verbs, present simple or past simple “to-be” verbs and present
simple or past simple positive verbs to form question tags.
➔ I ​could​ give Accuradio a try, ​couldn’t​ I? (Modal Verbs)
➔ The songs that you want are on Accuradio, ​aren’t ​they? (Present simple or past simple “to-be”
verbs)
➔ He ​works​ for Spotify,​ doesn’t​ he? (Present simple or past simple positive verbs)

If your sentence contains the verb “am”, the positive question tag is “am I” while the negative
question tag is “aren’t I”.
➢ I​ am ​paying for Spotify, ​aren’t ​I?
➢ I ​am not​ going to stream music online, ​am​ I?

Activity 1:
Listening to music online is becoming more and more normal in our country. Music streaming services
are allowing us to make our own list of songs and we can play them whenever and wherever we want.
How about making a playlist of your own and introducing your favourite songs like a radio presenter? If
you are familiar with music streaming services, you can create them on your account. If you do not own a
music streaming service account, that is fine because you can list your favourite songs on a piece of
paper. Add your own dialogue and you have your own show. You can record yourself playing music if
you want to. Since you are also learning question tags, you can put aside some of the dialogue for talking
to other people and insert the question tags while talking to them.

Activity 2:
There are a lot of music streaming services available for us to use. Like other things, they also have their
own similarities and differences. Build a table to illustrate the similarities and differences of these music
streaming services. After you have built the table, you can write questions that contain question tags
below the table and even add your answers to the questions. You can present your findings to your friends
