Question Tags.

Replying questions, correctly.

How are these questions formed?

• We form them, with an auxilliary / modal verb + pronoun. For example: We can't(modal) cycle (verb) along this (pronoun) path.

• We use negative questions tags after positive statements and positive question tags after negative statements. For examples: He's Peruvian, isn't he? She likes animals. doesn't she? You didn't enjoy the meal. did you? He can't ride a car, can he?

• If there are two auxiliary verbs in a statement, or a modal and an auxiliary veb, we use the first one in the question tag. For example: You've (1st Aux) been (2nd aux) painting, haven't (use on the 1st aux) you?
