Hal Yang Perlu Diperhatikan dalam Question Tag

1. Subyek dalam kalimat pernyataan diulang dalam tagnya dalam bentuk personal pronoun (kata ganti).
  • Erik will be here, won't he?
  • The students are lazy to do homework, aren't they?
2. Pernyataan yang bersubyek everybody, everyone, everything, anybody, anyone, no body, no one, diulang dalam tag-nya menjadi "they".
  • Everybody watched the movie, didn't they?
  • No one cares of me, do they?
3. Apabila pernyataan dalam bentuk perintah, tagnya menjadi will you
  • Come here, will you?
  • Be quiet, will you?
  • Don't be lazy, will you?
  • Please don't be noisy, will you?
4. Pernyataan yang berawalan let us/let's diulang dalam tag-nya menjadi "shall we"?
  • Let's see the movie, shall we?
  • Let us pay attention to the teacher's speaking, shall we?
5. Pernyataan positif untuk "I am" harus ber-tag-kan aren't I?
  • I'm pretty, aren't I?
  • I'm going to get the first prize in the beauty contest, are't I?
tetapi :
  • I am not guilty, am I?

6. Pernyataan yang mengandung kata: never, seldom, rarely, hardly, few, little, dianggap berpengertian negatif, oleh karenanya tag-nya harus dalam bentuk positif.

  • She never seems to care, does she?
  • She can hardly see us without her glasses, can she?
