Questions and Answers

Complete the tag questions. The neighbors like us,________?
Explanation
The correct answer is "don't they." This is because when using tag questions, we typically use the opposite form of the main clause. In the main clause, it states "The neighbors like us," which is a positive statement. Therefore, in the tag question, we use the negative form "don't" to create balance and ask for confirmation.Rate this question:

Explanation
The correct answer is "aren't you." In tag questions, we typically use a negative tag when the main sentence is positive. Since the main sentence "You're living in France" is positive, we use the negative tag "aren't you" to form the tag question. The tag question is used to seek confirmation or agreement from the listener.Rate this question:

Complete the tag questions. He has got to leave, ________ ?
Explanation
The given correct answer is "hasn't he". In tag questions, we use the auxiliary verb from the main clause and invert it to form a question. Since the main clause is "He has got to leave", the auxiliary verb is "has". To form the tag question, we use the negative form of the auxiliary verb "hasn't" and add the pronoun "he" at the end. This creates the tag question "hasn't he", which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Complete the tag questions. He didn’t have to choose one,________?
Explanation
The correct answer is "did he." This is because tag questions are used to confirm or seek agreement with a statement. In this case, the statement is "He didn't have to choose one." To form a tag question, we use the auxiliary verb from the statement and invert it with the subject. Since the auxiliary verb in the statement is "did," we use it in the tag question as well. The subject in the statement is "he," so we use it in the tag question as well. Therefore, the correct tag question is "did he."Rate this question:
