TAG QUESTIONS (CÂU HỎI ĐUÔI) (PHẢI KHÔNG?) Câu hỏi gồm hai phần: Câu nói (STATEMENT) + Phần (TAG) Eg: You study here, don’t you? Statement tag General rules (quy tắc chung): a Câu nói phần đuôi luôn dạng nghĩa đối nhau: Affirmative statement, negative tag? Negative statement, affirmative tag?

Helen can speak English very well, can’t she? My mother is very beautiful, isn’t she? - Nếu động từ sử dụng mệnh đề động từ thường, ta phải sử dụng động từ “to do” phải ngơi số, với đại từ đứng sau Eg: Hoa makes the questions, doesn’t she?
