* Nguyên tắc chung khi lập câu hỏi đuôi:
- Nếu câu nói trước dấu phẩy là câu khẳng định, câu hỏi đuôi phải ở thể phủ định.
- Nếu câu nói trước dấu phẩy là câu phủ định, câu hỏi đuôi phải ở thể khẳng định

* Cấu tạo của câu hỏi đuôi:
- Câu hỏi đuôi gồm một trợ động từ tương ứng với thì được dùng trong câu nói trước dấu phầy, có NOT hoặc không có NOT và một đại từ nhân xưng tương ứng với chủ ngữ của câu nói trước dấu phẩy.

* Thí dụ:
- YOU ARE AFRAID, AREN'T YOU? (Anh đang sợ, đúng không?)
- YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR HOMEWORK, DID YOU? (Bạn đã không làm bài tập nhà, đúng không?)

* Cách thành lập câu hỏi đuôi cho các tất cả các thì ta đã học:
1. Hiện tại đơn với TO BE:
- HE IS HANDSOME, ISN'T HE? = Anh ấy đẹp trai, đúng không?
- YOU ARE WORRIED, AREN'T YOU? = Bạn đang lo lắng, phải không?
- Đặc biệt với I AM..., câu hỏi đuôi phải là AREN'T I:
+ I AM RIGHT, AREN'T I?
- Với I AM NOT, câu hỏi đuôi sẽ là AM I như quy tắc.
+ I AM NOT GUILTY, AM I?

2. Hiện tại đơn động từ thường: mượn trợ động từ DO hoặc DOES tùy theo chủ ngữ
- THEY LIKE ME, DON'T THEY?
- SHE LOVES YOU, DOESN'T SHE?

3. Thì quá khứ đơn với động từ thường: mượn trợ động từ DID, quá khứđơn với TO BE: WAS hoặc WERE:
- YOU LIED TO ME, DIDN'T YOU?
- HE DIDN'T COME HERE, DID HE?
- HE WAS FRIENDLY, WASN'T HE?

4. Thì hiện tại hoàn thành hoặc hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn: mượn trợ động từ HAVE hoặc HAS
- THEY HAVE LEFT, HAVEN'T THEY?
- THE RAIN HAS STOPPED, HASN'T IT?

5. Thì quá khứ hoàn thành hoặc quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn: mượn trợ động từ HAD:
- HE HADN'T MET YOU BEFORE, HAD HE?

6. Thì tương lai đơn:
- IT WILL RAIN, WON'T IT?
- YOUR GIRLFRIEND WILL COME TO THE PARTY, WON'T SHE?

* Những trường hợp đặc biệt cần lưu ý:

** USED TO: từng (diễn tả thói quen, hành động thường lập đi lập lại trong quá khứ)
- Trường hợp này, ta cứ việc xem USED TO là một động từ chia ở thì quá khứ. Do đó, câu hỏi đuôi tương ứng chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ DID
- Thí dụ:
+ SHE USED TO LIVE HERE, DIDN'T SHE?

** HAD BETTER:
- HAD BETTER thường được viết ngắn gọn thành 'D BETTER, nên dễ khiến ta lúng túng khi phải lập câu hỏi đuôi tương ứng. Khi thấy 'D BETTER, chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ HAD để lập câu hỏi đuôi.
- Thí dụ:
+ HE'D BETTER STAY, HADN'T HE?

** WOULD RATHER:
- WOULD RATHER thường được viết gọn là 'D RATHER nên cũng dễ gây lúng túng cho bạn. Chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ WOULD cho trường hợp này để lập câu hỏi đuôi.
- Thí dụ:
+ YOU'D RATHER GO, WOULDN'T YOU?

[thich van hoc]

We use tag questions at the end of statements to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Am I right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English.

The basic structure is:




View attachment 12069
Notice that the question tag repeats the auxiliary verb (or main verb when be) from the statement and changes it to negative or positive.

Positive Statement Tag Questions

Look at these examples with positive statements. You will see that most of the time, the auxiliary verb from the positive statement is repeated in the tag and changed to negative.

*Note that in this example the auxiliary verb do in the statement - "You like coffee," - is understood and not expressed because the tense is normal present simple. But the question tag uses the do auxiliary to make "don't you?" It is also possible to say: "You do like coffee, don't you?"


Negative Statement Tag Questions

Look at these examples with negative statements. Notice that the negative verb in the original statement is changed to positive in the tag.

Answering Tag Questions

How do we answer a tag question? Often, we just say Yes or No. Sometimes we may repeat the tag and reverse it (They don't live here, do they? Yes, they do). Be very careful about answering tag questions. In some languages, an opposite system of answering is used, and non-native English speakers sometimes answer in the wrong way. This can lead to a lot of confusion!

For example, everyone knows that snow is white. Look at these questions, and the correct answers:

In some languages, people answer a question like "Snow isn't black, is it?" with "Yes" (meaning "Yes, I agree with you"). This is the wrong answer in English!
Here are some more examples, with correct answers:

• The moon goes round the earth, doesn't it? Yes, it does.
• The earth is bigger than the moon, isn't it? Yes.
• The earth is bigger than the sun, isn't it? No, it isn't!
• Asian people don't like rice, do they? Yes, they do!
• Elephants live in Europe, don't they? No, they don't!
• Men don't have babies, do they? No.
• The English alphabet doesn't have 40 letters, does it? No, it doesn't.
  

Tag Question Special Cases

Negative Adverbs

The adverbs never, rarely, seldom, hardly, barely and scarcely have a negative sense. Even though they may be in a positive statement, the feeling of the statement is negative. We treat statements with these words like negative statements, so the question tag is normally positive. Look at these examples:

Intonation

We can change the meaning of a tag question with the musical pitch of our voice. With rising intonation, it sounds like a real question. But if our intonation falls, it sounds more like a statement that doesn't require a real answer:

Imperatives

Sometimes we use question tags with imperatives (invitations, orders), but the sentence remains an imperative and does not require a direct answer. We use won't for invitations. We use can, can't, will, would for orders.

Same-Way Tag Questions

Although the basic structure of tag questions is positive-negative or negative-positive, it is sometimes possible to use a positive-positive or negative-negative structure. We use same-way tag questions to express interest, surprise, anger etc, and not to make real questions.
Look at these positive-positive tag questions:

• So you're having a baby, are you? That's wonderful!
• She wants to marry him, does she? Some chance!
• So you think that's amusing, do you? Think again.

Negative-negative tag questions usually sound rather hostile:

• So you don't like my looks, don't you? (British English)

Asking For Information Or Help

Notice that we often use tag questions to ask for information or help, starting with a negative statement. This is quite a friendly/polite way of making a request. For example, instead of saying "Where is the police station?" (not very polite), or "Do you know where the police station is?" (slightly more polite), we could say: "You wouldn't know where the police station is, would you?" Here are some more examples:

• You don't know of any good jobs, do you?
• You couldn't help me with my homework, could you?
• You haven't got $10 to lend me, have you?

Mixed Examples of Tag Questions


Here is a list of examples of tag questions in different contexts. Notice that some are "normal" and others seem to break all the rules:

• But you don't really love her, do you?
• This'll work, won't it?
• Oh you think so, do you?
• Well, I couldn't help it, could I?
• But you'll tell me if she calls, won't you?
• We'd never have known, would we?
• Oh you do, do you?
• The weather's bad, isn't it?
• You won't be late, will you?
• Nobody knows, do they?
• You never come on time, do you?
• You couldn't help me, could you?
• You think you're clever, do you?
• So you don't think I can do it, don't you? (British English)
• Shut up, will you!
• She can hardly love him after all that, can she?
• Nothing will happen, will it?
