Key PointsA short question following a statement is called a question tag. It is used for checking information that we think we know is true.
- The rules for making the question tag are:
-
- The sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense.
- For the negative question tag, use the contracted form of 'helping verb' and 'not.'
- If the sentence is positive, the question tag must be negative and vice-versa.
- Always use pronouns in the question tag.
- Example: didn't, haven't, doesn't
- Therefore, the use of 'is it' in Part (4) of the sentence should be replaced by 'haven't you' to make it grammatically correct.
Correct Sentence: You have written this poem yourself, 'haven't you?'
