You won't be late,

Will you?
- B.
Won't you?
- C.
Would you?
- D.
Wouldn't you?
Correct Answer
A. Will you?Explanation
The correct answer is "will you?" because the sentence is a negative question and the correct form to use in negative questions is "will you?" This form is used to ask for confirmation or agreement, implying that the speaker expects the person to not be late. The other options, "won't you?", "would you?", and "wouldn't you?" are incorrect because they do not match the structure and meaning of the sentence.Rate this question:

The winter hasn't been cold,
- A.
Does it?
- B.
Doesn't it?
- C.
Has it?
- D.
Hasn't it?
Correct Answer
C. Has it?Explanation
The correct answer is "has it?" This is because the question is in the negative form "The winter hasn't been cold," and when we want to make a tag question, we use the auxiliary verb from the main sentence, which in this case is "has." Since the main sentence is negative, the tag question should be in the positive form, hence "has it?"Rate this question:

You shouldn't smoke,
- A.
Are you?
- B.
Aren't you?
- C.
Should you?
- D.
Shouldn't you?
Correct Answer
C. Should you?Explanation
The correct answer is "should you?" This is because the question is a tag question, which is used to confirm or seek agreement with a statement. In this case, the statement is "You shouldn't smoke." The tag question is formed by using the auxiliary verb "should" in the same form as the main verb ("shouldn't") and inverting the subject and auxiliary verb ("you" and "should"). Therefore, the correct tag question is "should you?"Rate this question:

He speaks English well,
- A.
Do he?
- B.
Don't he?
- C.
Does he?
- D.
Doesn't he?
Correct Answer
D. Doesn't he?Explanation
The correct answer is "doesn't he?" because when using the auxiliary verb "do" to form a question in the third person, we need to use "does" instead of "do". Additionally, since the statement is positive ("He speaks English well"), the question tag should be negative ("doesn't he?") to maintain agreement.Rate this question:

John drinks too much,

- B.
Isn't he?
- C.
Does he?
- D.
Doesn't he?
Correct Answer
D. Doesn't he?Explanation
The correct answer is "doesn't he?" This is because the sentence "John drinks too much" is a statement, and when we want to turn a statement into a question, we use the auxiliary verb "do" in the present tense. Since the subject is "he," we use "doesn't" which is the contraction of "does not" with "he."Rate this question:
