Hello Guys, meet me again. In this special day Mr would like to teach you about Questions Tag. Secara definisi ini adalah sebuah kalimat pertanyaan namun dengan diikuti penegasan. Makna lain dari Question Tag ini adalah sebuah pertanyaan singkat yang diikuti oleh sebuah konfirmasi.
Mari kita lihat contoh penggunaannya
Dengan memakai Auxiliary Verb To.Be
| Positive | Negative |
|---|---|
| You are my hair stylist, | aren't you? |
Dengan memakai kata kerja murni
| Negative | Positive |
|---|---|
| She doesn't like the party, | does She? |
Kalian dapat lihat pada contoh diatas. Terdapat 2 variasi kalimat dimana yang awal adalah kalimat positive dengan Question Tagnya dalam bentuk negative dan yang kedua kalimat negative dengan Question Tagnya dalam bentuk positive.
*Note: yang patut kalian perhatikan adalah penggunaan kata kerja atau kata kerja bantunya yah guys. Karena nantinya kata kerja tersebut akan menjadi Question Tagnya.
Mari kita lihat beberapa contoh lainnya dimana kalimat pertama positif;
Positif = (tagnya) Negatif
| Jenis Tensesnya | Positive | Negative |
|---|---|---|
| Present Tense | You like avocado juice, | don't you? |
| Past Tense | She went to Yogja, | didn't she? |
| Future Tense | They will be back from the U.K, | won't they? |
| Auxiliary To.Be | We are at the hotel, | aren't we? |
| Present Continuous/Progressive Tense | He is restarting the PC, | isn't he? |
| Present Perfect | I have finished the work, | haven't I? |
| Auxiliary Modals | Fathir can do the homework by himself, | can't he? |
| They should visit the doctor, | shouldn't they? |
Sekarang mari kita lihat dimana kalimat negatifnya di depan;
Negatif = (tagnya) Positif
| Jenis Tensesnya | Negative | Positive |
|---|---|---|
| Present Tense | You don't like avocado juice, | do you? |
| Past Tense | She didn't go to Yogja, | did she? |
| Future Tense | They won't be back from the U.K, | will they? |
| Auxiliary To.Be | We aren't at the hotel, | are we? |
| Present Continuous/Progressive Tense | He isn't restarting the PC, | is he? |
| Present Perfect | I haven't finished the work, | have I? |
| Auxiliary Modals | Fathir can't do the homework by himself, | can he? |
| They shouldn't visit the doctor, | should they? |
Jika terdapat kalimat ajakan, "Let's go" gunakan "Shall we".
contoh:
"Let's go to the library, shall we?"
Jika terdapat kalimat Imperative (perintah atau ajakan),
contoh:
"Pass the salt, will you?" (will you digunakan sedikit kurang sopan)
"Come here, won't you?" (won't you digunakan bila ingin sopan)
Jika dalam kata kerja terdapat kata kerja "Have" yang berarti memiliki berarti kata tersebut termasuk kata yang tagnya menggunakan kata kerja bantu Auxiliary To.Do.
contoh:
"We have so many trees in our yard, don't we?"
Jika dalam kata kerja terdapat kata; Nobody, somebody, no one, everybody, someone, atau everyone. Maka kita gunakan pronoun tagnya "they"
contoh:
"Nobody lives here, do they?"
"Someone knocks the door, don't they?"
Jika terdapat kata "Nothing". Maka kita gunakan pronoun tagnya "it"
contoh:
"Nothing ever happens, does it?"
"Nothing bad happened, did it?"
Jika menggunakan kata "Used to". Maka kita gunakan "did"
contoh:
"She used to work here, didn't she?"
"They used to clean the class, didn't they?"
