Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Tom could help you, ..........?

    • Couldn't he

    • Could he

    • Can he

    Correct Answer
    A. Couldn't he
    Explanation
    The given question is asking for a suitable completion for the sentence "Tom could help you, .........?" The correct answer, "couldn't he," is an appropriate completion because it is a tag question that agrees with the previous statement. The statement "Tom could help you" is positive, so the tag question should be negative. "Couldn't he" is the negative form of "could he," making it the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    John is listening, ..........?

    • Is he

    • Isn't he

    • Does he

    Correct Answer
    A. Isn't he
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "isn't he." This is because the sentence structure suggests that John is listening, and the phrase "isn't he" is a commonly used tag question to seek confirmation or agreement.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    You didn't cancel your date, ..........?

    • Didn't you

    • Did you

    • Do you

    Correct Answer
    A. Did you
    Explanation
    The given question is a negative question asking if the person canceled their date. In negative questions, the auxiliary verb is usually placed before the subject. In this case, the correct auxiliary verb to use is "did" because the main verb is in the base form "cancel". Therefore, the correct answer is "did you", which is the correct form for a negative question in the past tense.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The test wasn't too hard, ..........?

    • Was it

    • Wasn't it

    • Is it

    Correct Answer
    A. Was it
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "was it." This is because the phrase "was it" is used to form a tag question, which is used to confirm or seek agreement on a statement. In this case, the statement is "The test wasn't too hard," and the tag question is "was it." By using the tag question "was it," the speaker is seeking confirmation or agreement from the listener that the test was indeed not too hard.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The children aren't studying, ..........?

    • Do they

    • Aren't they

    • Are they

    Correct Answer
    A. Are they
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "are they". This is because the question is asking for confirmation or agreement with a negative statement. In English, when we have a negative statement in the main clause, we use the positive form of the verb in the tag question. So, since the main statement is "The children aren't studying", the correct tag question would be "are they".

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    It isn't ten o'clock yet, ..........?

    • Is it

    • Isn't it

    • Is he

    Correct Answer
    A. Is it
    Explanation
    The correct tag question to use in this case is "is it". This is because the sentence is in the negative form, so the tag question should be in the positive form. Additionally, since the subject of the sentence is "it", the pronoun used in the tag question should also be "it.” Therefore, "is it" is the correct choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    You will help me with my homework, ..........?

    • Won't you

    • Don't you

    • Aren't you

    Correct Answer
    A. Won't you
    Explanation
    The given question is an incomplete sentence that implies a request for assistance. The correct answer "won't you" is a polite and formal way to ask for help or confirmation. It is a tag question that seeks agreement or confirmation from the listener. The use of "won't" instead of "will" adds a polite and slightly tentative tone to the request.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    You don't like pizza, ..........?

    • Are you

    • Did you

    • Do you

    Correct Answer
    A. Do you
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "do you". This is because the question is asking about a present preference or habit, which is indicated by the use of the present tense. "Do you" is the correct form to use in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    We're still friends, ..........?

    • Are we

    • Aren't we

    • Don't we

    Correct Answer
    A. Aren't we
    Explanation
    The correct answer is, "aren't we." This is because the phrase "aren't we" is a tag question that is used to seek confirmation or agreement. In this context, it implies that the speaker is assuming that they are still friends and is seeking confirmation from the other person.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    We have to go to school every day, ..........?

    • Don't we

    • Do we

    • Have we

    Correct Answer
    A. Don't we
    Explanation
    The given statement is a tag question, which is used to seek confirmation or agreement from the listener. In this case, the speaker is suggesting that going to school every day is a requirement. The correct tag question to use in this situation is "don't we," as it is the negative form of the auxiliary verb "do" that matches the positive statement "We have to go to school every day."

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    You've met my cousin, ..........?

    • Have you

    • Didn't you

    • Haven't you

    Correct Answer
    A. Haven't you
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "haven't you" because it is used to ask a question about a past experience or action. In this context, it implies that the speaker is asking if the person has met their cousin in the past.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Jake left early, ..........?

    • Didn't he

    • Isn't he

    • Did he

    Correct Answer
    A. Didn't he
    Explanation
    The correct question tag for the sentence "Jake left early" is "didn't he?" In English, question tags are used to confirm information. Since the main sentence is in the past tense ("left"), the question tag also needs to be in the past tense, which is "didn't." The other options are incorrect because they use the present tense or a different verb form that doesn't match the main sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Alice usually brings her lunch from home, ..........?

    • Isn't she

    • Does she

    • Doesn't she

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't she
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't she". This is because the sentence is in the affirmative form (Alice usually brings her lunch from home), so the question tag should be in the negative form. "Doesn't she" is the correct negative question tag to use in this case.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Jane never goes out on the weekend, ..........?

    • Is she

    • Does she

    • Doesn't she

    Correct Answer
    A. Does she
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does she." This is because the sentence is a negative statement, indicating that Jane never goes out at the weekend. In English, when forming a question from a negative statement, we use the auxiliary verb "do" or "does" before the subject. In this case, the subject is "she," so we use "does" to form the question "Does she?"
