Question Tag

Questin tag adalah pertanyaan singkat yang menegaskan pernyataan sebelumnya.
kalimat : she is beautiful
Pertanyaan : is she beautiful ?
question tag : she is beautiful, isn't she ?

jika kalimat positif, kita biasanya menggunakan tag negatif,
contoh:
she is beautiful, isn't she ?


jika kalimat negatif, kita biasanya menggunakan tag positif,
contoh:
she is not beautiful, is she ?

terdapat 4 type question tag :

1. Use "to be"

example :

• he is not crazy, is he ?
• Your mom was angry, wasn't she ?
• They were teachers, weren't they ?
• you are watching tv, aren't you ?
• I am not stupid, am I ?
• I never be late, am I ?

Note : untuk kalimat yang menggunakan to be "am" dan positif, maka tagnya menggunakan to be "are"
ex : I am clever, aren't I ?

2.Use "Modal/auxaliary"
Must, have to, had to, has to, can, could, shall, will, would, may, might.

example :

• I must do my work tonight, musn't I ?
• You can't eat spicy foods, can You ?
• She should clean  her house , shouldn't she ?
• Vero couldn't go to my party, could she ?
• I will be a rich girl, won't I ?

Kalimat perintah :
example :

• Open the door, won't you ?
• Let's study in my home, shall we ?

3. Use "Does, Do or Did"

example :

• He drank medicine twice a day, didn't he ?
• Dave doesn't go to Bali, does he ?
• Kevin didn't visite her Grandmother's house, do he ?
• They study in your house, don't they ?
• Mother  cooks friedrice, doesn't she ?

4. Use "Perfect Tense"

example :

• You have taken my money, haven't you ?
• Shilla hasn't bought a new bag, has she ?
• They haven't played football, have they ?
• She has maked a cake, hasn't she ?
• He hasn't met a Doctor, has he ?

If Sentence

a. Compare This Examples:

Tom : I think i left my lighter at your house. Have you seen it ?
Ann : No, but I'll look. If I find it, I'll give it to you.

In this example there is a real possibility that Ann will find the lighter. So she says "If I find...I'll..."

Ann : If I found a $100 bill on the street, I would keep it.

This is a defferent type of situation.  Ann is not thinking about a real possibility; She is imagining the situation. So She says "If I found...I  would...."( Not "If I find.....I'll....").

When you imagine a future happening like this, you use a past tense form (did/came/found,etc) after if. But the meaning is not past :

• What would you do if you won a million dollars ?
• If we didn't go to their party next week, they would be very angry.
• Ann wouldn't lend me any money I asked her.

b. We don't normally use would in the if part of sentence :

• If we didn't go to their party next week, they would be angry. (not if we wouldn't go) 

Sometimes it is possible to say if...would, especially whwn you ask someone to do something in a formal way :

• I would very grateful if you would send me your brochure and price list as soon as possible. (form a formal letter)

c. In the other part of the sentence (not the if part) we use would/wouldn't. would is often shortened to 'd, especially in spoken English.

• If you stopped smoking, you'd probably feel healthier.
• They wouldn't come to the party if you invited them.

You can also use could or might :

• They might be angry if I didn;t visite them. (=perhaps they would be)
• If it stopped raining, we could go out.(=we would be able to go out)

d. Don't use when in the sentence like the one in the unit:

• Tom would be angry if I didn;t visite him. (not when i didn't visite )
• What would you do if you were bitten by a snake ? (not when you were)
