Questions and Question Tags

Welcome to the chapter on Questions and Question Tags for Class 3. In this chapter, you will learn how to ask questions in English and use question tags to check or confirm information. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to form questions and use question tags correctly in sentences!

Introduction

Questions help us get information, learn new things, and talk to others. Question tags are short questions added at the end of a sentence to confirm or check something.

How to Ask Questions

  • Use words like what, where, when, who, why, and how.
  • Put the question word at the beginning of the sentence.
  • End the sentence with a question mark (?).

Examples:

  • What is your name?
  • Where do you live?
  • Who is your best friend?

What are Question Tags?

A question tag is a short question added at the end of a statement. It is used to check or confirm information.

  • You are coming, aren't you?
  • She is happy, isn't she?
  • It is raining, isn't it?
  • They can swim, can't they?

How to Use Question Tags

  • If the sentence is positive, use a negative tag.
  • If the sentence is negative, use a positive tag.
  • Use the helping verb from the sentence in the tag.

Examples:

  • You like ice cream, don't you?
  • He isn't late, is he?
