Inglês – Lição 28 – Tag Questions
STRUCTURE
É a pergunta que aparece após uma sentença ou declaração. O objetivo de uma tag question é confirmar a declaração em conversas informais. A estrutura é bem simples:
» se a sentença for afirmativa, a tag question assumirá uma forma interrogativa – negativa, com o verbo auxiliar na forma contracta.
Ex: you study in a modern school, don’y you?
She speak English, doesn’t she?
» se a sentença for negativa, ocorre algumas mudanças. A tag question terá somente uma estrutura interrogativa.
Ex: they didn’t live in Europe, did they?
Susie won’t explain it, will she?
» se na sentença tiver um modal verb ( may, can, could,should, must) estes mesmos verbos vão para as tag questions.
Ex: she can speak with you, can’t she?
He could understand the teacher, couldn’t he?
Special cases:
I am = aren’t
Ex: I am right, aren’t?
There is = isn’t
There are= aren’t
Ex: there’s something here, isn’t there?
With let’s:
Let’s go, shall we?
