Question tags: B2-Intermediate:

B2- intermediate: 📚

Question tags:

short questions added to the end of a statement to confirm information or encourage a response. At the B2 (Upper-Intermediate) level, you need to master the basic rules, special structures, and advanced variations.

1. The Basic Rules:

* Positive Statement:

Negative Tag: It is raining, isn't it?

* Negative Statement:

Positive Tag: It isn't raining, is it?

* Tense Match: Use the same auxiliary or modal verb found in the statement. If there isn't one, use do/does/did.

2. B2 Special Cases and Exceptions

* "I am": The tag is always aren't I?

* Example: I'm late, aren't I? .

* Imperatives (Commands/Requests):

* Positive or negative requests take will you?

* Example: Open the window, will you?

* "Let's...": The tag is always shall we?

* Example: Let's grab some coffee, shall we?

* Indefinite Pronouns: When the subject is everyone, nobody, somebody, the tag pronoun is always they.

* Example: Nobody called, did they?

* Hidden Negatives: Words like never, rarely, seldom, and hardly make the sentence negative. They require a positive tag.

* Example: She rarely goes out, does she?

3. Intonation and Meaning:

The tone of your voice completely changes the function of the tag:

* Falling Tone :

Used when you are sure of what you're saying and just want the listener to agree. (e.g., It's a beautiful day, isn't it?.

* Rising Tone:Used when you are unsure and are asking a genuine question to confirm information. (e.g., You have my number, don't you?.
