Ellipsis
Tag questions
Substitution
We use tag questions to:
ask politely
ask for information
ask for confirmation
Tag questions mean something like: "Is that right?" or "Do you agree?"
True
False
The basic structure of a tag question is:
1.- positive statement + negative tag
2.- negative statement + positive tag
1.- positive statement + positive tag
2.- negative statement + negative tag
1.- negative tag + positive statement
2.- positive tag + negative statement
The Tag repeats the auxiliary verb (or main verb when be) from the statement and changes it to negative or positive.

True
positive statements with negative adverbs have to be treated like negative ones.

Affirmative structure of future progressive
Subj + will + be + comp.
Will + subj + be + verb ing + comp.

This is NOT a use for the future progressive:

to talk about decisions on the spot
to mention actions that happen at the same time in the future
