Question tags in English

frequently used in spoken English when you want someone to agree or disagree

2. Form

positive statement → question tag negative → You are Tom, aren't you?
negative statement → question tag positive → He isn't Joe, is he?

3. Examples

3.1. with auxiliaries

You've got a car, haven't you?

3.2. without auxiliaries (don't, doesn't, didn't)

They play football on Sundays, don't they?
She plays football on Sundays, doesn't she?
They played football on Sundays, didn't they?

Questions tags are used to keep a conversation going. You can agree or refuse to a sentence with a question tag.

Affirmative sentence: He is from Germany, isn't he?
Negative sentence: He isn't from Germany, is he?

Possible answers are Yes or No. If you use Yes, do not use contracted forms. If you use No, contracted form are possible.

Yes, he is.
No, he is not. or No, he isn't. or No, he's not.

4. Special points

4.1. Although the negative word not is not in the sentence, the sentence can be negative. Then we use the positive question tag.

He never goes out with his dog, does he?

4.2. If have is a main verb in the sentence and refers to states, there are two possible sentences – We have a car, _____?

We have a car, haven't we? mostly British English
We have a car, don't we? mostly American English

4.3. Use will/would with imperatives (Simple Present).

Open the window, will you?
Open the window, would you?
Don't open your books, will you?

4.4. We use won't with a polite request.

Open the window, won't you?

4.7. Personal pronoun I

I am late, aren't I?

This form is commonly used (mostly informal). It is because there is no contracted form for am + not (amn't). Grammatically correct would be: am I not. This is only used in formal situations.

Ejemplos del comparativo y superlativo en inglés

Primero, el comparativo:

Madrid is bigger than Valencia. (Compara 2 cosas: Madrid y Valencia)

Luego, el superlativo:

Madrid is the biggest city in Spain. (Compara Madrid con todas las demás ciudades en España… toda la categoría.)

Y otro ejemplo:

I’m older than my brother. (Compara una persona con otra.)

I’m the oldest in my family. (Superlativo, que compara una persona con los demás del grupo.)

Formamos el superlativo con el articulo definido “the” que se utiliza para cosas únicas. Luego tenemos dos formas superlativas, dependiendo de si el adjetivo es largo o corto.

base … comparativo … superlativo

big, bigger, the biggest

small, smaller, the smallest

old, older, the oldest

young, younger, the youngest

fast, faster, the fastest

slow, slower, the slowest

happy, happier, the happiest

early, earlier, the earliest

late, later, the latest

cheap, cheaper, the cheapest

Superlativos en inglés con adjetivos más largos

Los adjetivos largos usan the most + el adjetivo en forma base para formar el superlativo. Aquí tienes el comparativo en medio, y el superlativo al final.

base … comparativo … superlativo

expensive, more expensive, the most expensive

beautiful, more beautiful, the most beautiful

interesting, more interesting, the most interesting

entertaining, more entertaining, the most entertaining

exciting, more exciting, the most exciting

intelligent, more intelligent, the most intelligent

Superlativos irregulares

Los irregulares son los mismos que en comparativo:

good, better, best

bad, worse, worst

far, further, furthest

REVISE EL VOCABULARIO PARA CANTIDAD- CONTABLES E INCONTABLES

Countable (or count) nouns are words which can be counted. They have a singular form and a plural form. They usually refer to things. Most countable nouns become plural by adding an ‘s’ at the end of the word.

For example:

Singular	Plural
chair	chairs
bottle	bottles
student	students

Uncountable (or non-count) nouns are words which cannot be counted. Therefore, they only have a singular form. They have no plural forms. These words are thought of as wholes rather than as parts. They usually refer to abstractions (such as confidence or advice) or collectives (such as equipment or luggage).
