Defining & Non-defining Relative Clause

Join the sentences. Use the underlined sentences to form defining relative clauses. Omit the relative pronoun where possible.

Tips: When to omit the relative pronoun?

1) When it is a defining relative clause (the one without the use of commas); AND

2) When the relative pronoun is an object

Question tags

What are tag questions/ question tags?

Tip 1

Negative or Limiting Adverbs

Sentences which use a negative or limiting adverbs (never, no, hardly, scarcely, little, etc.) are treated as negative by the question tag, even though their construction is positive. Therefore the question tag is positive.

WRONG: They never go on holiday, don’t they?

RIGHT: They never go on holiday, do they?

Tip 2

Sentences with indefinite nouns such as someone, anyone, no one and everyone, use they in the tag.

No one cares, do they?

Everyone left, didn’t they?

Someone's at the door, are they?

With other indefinite nouns such as something and everything, use it:

Everything is OK, isn’t it?

Nothing matters, does it?

Something smells bad, doesn't it?

Tip 3

Suggestions with Let's:

When making a suggestion, it is common to use let’s. Let’s stands for let us, for example: Let’s go to the cinema. When we use let’s in a question tag we always use shall we, regardless of whether let’s is affirmative or negative. So for example:

Let’s go to the cinema, shall we?

Let’s not go to the cinema, shall we?
