1.
I'm a good student,_____?
Correct Answer
B. Aren't I
Explanation
"Aren't I" is the contraction of "am I not." While "amn't I" might seem logical, it's not grammatically correct. The tag question should use the same subject as the statement ("I"). If the statement is positive, the tag is negative (and vice versa). The statement is positive ("I'm"), so the tag is negative ("aren't").
2.
I have never been there,_____?
Correct Answer
D. Have I
Explanation
The correct answer is "have I." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is formed using the auxiliary verb "have" followed by the subject pronoun "I" and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "been." Therefore, the correct sentence structure is "have I been there."
3.
Chompoo and Nott work,______?
Correct Answer
B. Don't they
Explanation
The given correct answer is "don't they". This is because the question is asking about the work of Chompoo and Nott, and the phrase "don't they" is a negative question tag that is commonly used in English to confirm or seek agreement. In this case, it is used to seek agreement about the fact that Chompoo and Nott work.
4.
Tono likes flowers,_____?
Correct Answer
A. Doesn't he
Explanation
The tag question should use the auxiliary verb (helping verb) from the main statement. "Likes" uses the auxiliary "does." The tag question should use the appropriate subject pronoun, which is "he" for Tono. If the statement is positive, the tag is negative (and vice versa). The statement is positive ("likes"), so the tag is negative ("doesn't").
5.
Jenny looks very sad,_____?
Correct Answer
C. Doesn't she
Explanation
The correct answer is "doesn't she". This is because when using an auxiliary verb like "do" or "does" to form a question, we invert the subject and the auxiliary verb. In this case, the subject is "Jenny" and the auxiliary verb is "does". Therefore, the correct question form is "doesn't she" instead of "don't she" or "is she".
