Thinking point
1. Notice that the underlined words include an apostrophe.
2. What are the two words being contracted in the rst question?
isn’t
3. What are the two words being contracted in the second question?
aren’t
The underlined words are question tags. Question tags are added to the
end of a sentence to make it a question.
When the sentence is in the afrmative, the question tag is in the negative.
Example: It’s raining today,isn’t it?
When the sentence is in the negative, the question tag is in the afrmative.
Example: It’s not raining today, is it?
