Question tags
Question: what is a question tag?
Answer: a statement with a very short question.
Example: You know how to swim, don’t you?
Use:
(1) Confirmar algo positivo.
Example: He can drive, can’t he?
- estamos confirmando que puede conducir.
NOTE: tu voz debería subir cuando dices "can't he".
(2) Confirmar algo que no deseas ser verdad.
Example: She doesn’t still live here, does she?
- la persona no quiere que ella vive aquí todavía.
NOTE: tu voz debería caer cuando dices "can't he".
Form:
(1) Si la frase es positiva, el question tag es negativa.
Example: You like chocolate, don't you?
(2) Si la frase es negativa, el question tag es positiva.
Example: You don't like chocolate, do you?
