QUESTION TAGS




  1. http://www.grammar.cl/Games/Question_Tags.htm 
  2. http://speakspeak.com/english-grammar-exercises/intermediate/questions-tags

    Question tags – advanced points

    1. Aren’t I?
    The question tag for I am is aren’t I, not amn’t I.
    I am late, aren’t I? (NOT I am late, amn’t I?)

    2. In question tags referring to nobody, somebody, everybody etc., we use they.
    Nobody came, did they? (NOT …did nobody?)
    Somebody
    wanted a drink, didn’t they?

    3. In question tags referring to nothing and everything we use it.
    Everything is ok, isn’t it? (NOT …isn’t everything?)
    Nothing can happen, can it? (NOT …can nothing?)


    4. Let’s
    After let’s… we use shall we?
    Let’s go for a walk, shall we?

    5. Sentences containing negative words like hardly, never, no, nobody and little are followed by non-negative tags.
    You never call me, do you? (NOT …don’t you?)
    He is no good, is he? (NOT …isn’t he?)
    I have hardly ever met her, have I?


    6.After principal verb have, question tags with have and do are often both possible. Note that do is more common in American English.
    They have a farm house, haven’t / don’t they?
    He had a bad headache, hadn’t/didn’t he?

    7. Imperatives

    Sometimes we use question tags with imperatives (invitations, orders), but the sentence remains an imperative and does not require a direct answer. We use won't for invitations. We use can, can't, will, would for orders.
    imperative + question tag notes
    Take a seat, won't you? polite invitation
    Help me, can you? quite friendly
    Help me, can't you? quite friendly (some irritation?)
    Close the door, would you? quite polite
    Do it now, will you. less polite
    Don't forget, will you. with negative imperatives only will is possible

    HALLOWEEN II



    +

     TASK 1 : READ THE FOLLOWING STORY

    The house on the hill in the old forest.


    I went trick-or-treating with my best friends  Our pillowcases were full of candy, and it was getting late, so my friends wanted to go home.

    I wanted a few more chocolate bars so I turned to my friends and said, “Let’s knock on a few more doors and then head for home.”

    They were worried because they thought it was already too late. “Let’s go home now,” they said to me. I told them not to worry because we could take a shortcut through the old forest.



    So after a few more houses, I took my friends to the path that went through the forest. We walked about 20 minutes, and then, suddenly, I felt very strange. I couldn’t remember the way! It was dark and foggy. We were lost. And to make matters worse, it started to rain. And then, it started to pour. Lightning lit up the sky and thunder rang in our ears. We wandered around in the rain for over two hours. We were very wet and very cold. And then, at about midnight, I saw an old abandoned house on a hill.

    “I think we’ll have to spend the night in that old house and wait till morning,” I said.



    TASK2.  In pairs, finish writing the story using all the phrases in the box below. Write it as a comment to this post,

    screamed
    saw a light
    ran down the hall
    cobwebs
    heard footsteps
    hid under the bed
    heard a noise
    dawn
    My friends didn’t think it was a good idea, but they were cold and wet, so they agreed. We walked up the old wooden steps to the front door. The door creaked open and we went inside, sat down, and started to eat a chocolate bar, when . . .
