- Jika pernyataan positif, question tagnya negatif
Examples :
* It is a nice day, isn’t it?
* Fida can cook, can’t she?
Utk modal seperti (can, will,may, shall, would, should, might dll) maka cukup menambahkan "not" sesudah modal tsb
- Jika pernyataan negatif, question tagnya positif
Examples :
* She is not happy, is she?
* Fida didn’t like cook, did she?
- Kata bantu dalam question tag tergantung pada kata bantu dalam pernyataannya. Dalam simple present tense dan simple past tense, kata bantu dalam question tag-nya harus do/does dan did.
Examples :
* She likes cooking, doesn’t she?
* She cooked a meal for Dina, didn’t she?
* They always come late, don’t they?
- Pernyataan “I am….,” yang positif, question tagnya bukan “am not I?” tetapi “aren’t I?”
pernyataan yang negative, question tagnya tetap “am I?”
Examples :
* I am a doctor, aren’t I?
* I am working hard, aren’t I?
* I am not a doctor, am I?
* I am not working hard, am I?
- Ada kata-kata yang memliki arti negatif, sehinggga questionnya menjadi positif jika ada kata berikut dalam kalimat :
Never : tidak pernah / belum pernah
Seldom / rarely : jarang
Hardly ever / barely / scarcely : hampir tidak
By no mean : sama sekali tidak
Few : sedikit
No / not any / none (no + kata benda)
Examples :
* She never goes to school late, does she?
* She has no chicken, has she?
* They seldom get up early, do they?
