TAG ENDINGS

Varios Tiempos

Preguntas de confirmación en algunos otros tiempos

Recuerde: las normas del Grupo A y Grupo B  (vea Formular Preguntas) se aplican: si la frase afirmativo contiene un auxiliar usamos palabras invertidas para formar el ‘tag question’; si no, debemos utilizar ‘to do’ en el ‘tag question’.

Cuando el verbo principal de la frase es ‘to go’ (ir) que debemos usar ‘to be’ en la pregunta de confirmación (tag question). Nunca se puede tener ‘goes he?’ o ‘go we?’ etcétera en un ‘tag ending’.
