question tag
Une 'question tag' est constituée d'une déclaration et d'un 'tag' ( mini-question que
nous mettons à la fin d'une phrase en anglais parlé ).
Si la déclaration est positive, le tag est négatif.
She's a nurse, isn't she ?
She's ridiculous, isn't she?
Si la déclaration est négative, le 'tag' est positif.
They don't know how old you are, do they ?
She can't practise the violin, can she ?
Si la déclaration utilise un auxiliaire ou un 'modal', le tag utilise le même verbe.
I should buy flowers, shouldn't I ?
You were on holiday, weren't you ?
Si la déclaration n'utilise pas de verbe auxiliaire, le tag est do ou did.
She sang very well, didn't she?
They don't like living in a flat, do they?
Pour 'am I' => 'aren't I?' => I'm early, aren't I?
Pour 'Let's' => 'shall we? '=> Let's pay, shall we?
Pour 'Don't' => 'will you ?' => Don't cry, will you ?
