1 Tier 1 – The Concept & Nuance: Checking Information & Seeking Agreement

Question tags are mini-questions at the end of sentences. Affirmative statements take negative tags; negative statements take affirmative tags.

➕ Statement ➔ ➖ Tag

– “You‘re tired, aren’t you?”
– “Tom lives in London, doesn’t he?”

➖ Statement ➔ ➕ Tag

– “You haven’t seen Lisa, have you?”
– “They don’t smoke, do they?”

2 Tier 2 – Irregular Question Tags

I am… ➔ aren’t I?	“I’m late, aren’t I?”
Let’s… ➔ shall we?	“Let’s go for a coffee, shall we?”
Imperatives ➔ will you?	“Don’t drop that, will you?” / “Open the door, will you* / can you?”*

3 Tier 3 – Top 3 Common Learner Pitfalls

✗ ~~I’m right, amn’t I?~~

✓ I’m right, aren’t I?

– Rule: The tag for I am is always aren’t I?

✗ ~~Let’s start now, don’t we?~~

✓ Let’s start now, shall we?

– Rule: Suggestions beginning with Let’s take the tag shall we?

✗ ~~You have a car, haven’t you? (US/Standard Simple)~~

✓ You have a car, don’t you? (or You’ve got a car, haven’t you?)

– Rule: When have is a simple present verb, the tag uses don’t you?
