DYSE : Question Tag

Grammar
(Kebahasaan)

2. Question Tag
Kalian pasti sering menemukan kata
Isn't he? Aren't they? Am I? Do you? Kaan? Nah guys, ini semua tuh disebut Question tag.

Question tag adalah sebuah pertanyaan yang ditambahkan di akhir sebuah kalimat.

Sebelum masuk ke contoh, aku jelaskan sedikit soal Auxiliary verb (Kata kerja pembantu) dulu ya.

Auxiliary Verb
(Kata kerja pembantu)

To be :
Is, am, are, was, were

To do :
Do, does, did

To have :
Have, has, had

Modal :
Can, must, will, may, could, would, might

Nah, dalam membuat suatu question tag ada beberapa ketentuan nih guys.

1. Jika kalimat nya (+) maka question tag nya (-) dan sebaliknya.
Contoh:
• This food is delicious, isn't it?
• Rina & Tama are bestfriend, aren't they?
• You aren't supposed to be here, are you?

2. Jika kalimatnya menggunakan kata kerja maka gunakan DO & DOES (verb 1) dan DID (verb 2)

DO (I, you, they, we)
DOES (He, she, it)
DID (I, you, they, we, he, she, it)

Contoh:
• He didn't do his homework, did he?
• Park Jinyoung went to the office yesterday, didn't he?

3. Jika kalimatnya menggunakan kata sifat, maka gunakan To Be (Is, am are, was, were)

IS, AM : Subjek tunggal
ARE : Subjek tak tunggal
WAS : Subjek tunggal (lampau)
WERE : Subjek tak tunggal (lampau)

Simplenya, WAS adalah bentuk lampau dari (IS, AM) dan WERE adalah bentuk lampau dari (ARE)

Contoh:
Is, am, are

• The weather is good, isn't it?
• Budi & Luciana aren't dating, are they?
• I'm pretty, Aren't I?

Was, were
• They were a bestfriend before, weren't they?
• The door was opened by itself, wasn't it?

4. Jika kalimatnya menggunakan modal, maka gunakan modal untuk question tag-nya. Khusus untuk modals have to, gunakan kata bantu do untuk question tag-nya

Contoh
• Hyunjin will come to your bday party, won't he?
• Nania can't eat spicy foods, can she?
• Jana & Nicole have to go to the dentist, don't they?

5. Jika subjeknya everybody, everyone, somebody, someone, nobody dan no one, maka gunakan they dalam question tag.

Contoh:
• Nobody went to the cinema last night, didn't they?
• Someone eats my food, don't they?

6. Jika kalimatnya berupa perintah atau larangan, gunakan will you untuk question tag-nya.

Contoh:
• Open the window, will you?

7. Jika kalimatnya dimulai dengan let's, maka question tag-nya adalah shall we.

Contoh:
• Let's eat dinner together tonight, shall we?
• Let's forget about it, shall we?

8. Jika kalimatnya menggunakan I am gunakan Aren't I sebagai question-tag nya, dan jika kalimatnya I am not gunakan Am I sebagai question-tag nya.

Contoh:
• I'm not good at math, Am I?
• I'm pretty girl, Aren't I?

Gampang, bukan?
