Question Tag Quiz: You Understand, Don't You?

Friday November 13, 2009

If we want to ask for information we usually use the standard question form. However, sometimes we just want to keep a conversation going, or confirm information. In this case, question tags are often used to solicit input or confirmation to what we are saying. Using question tags well also promotes a keen understanding of the use of various auxiliary verbs.

I teach English in China and want you to know that I often use your site for ideas on lesson plans. It has been such a help to me. After 6 years here teaching, I sometimes feel drained of new ideas. You have been a life saver.
I found a blooper in your Question tag lesson there is an omission of the answer to question no.2 in the full text.(He went to school in Buenas Aires for) Easy enough to add in but just thought you would want to know.
Thanks again for your site.
