Разделительные вопросы (tag questions)

Разделительные вопросы (tag questions) – это утвердительные предложения, к которым в конце добавляется вспомогательный глагол + местоимение.

«Хвостик» разделительного вопроса переводится на русский язык как ‘ не так ли’, ‘не правда ли’

Вспомогательный глагол употребляется в том же времени, что и глагол-сказуемое. Например, если в предложение глагол-сказуемое в Past Simple, то вспомогательный глагол, который добавляется в разделительном вопросе – did или didn’t.

Вспомогательный (или модальный) глагол употребляется в отрицательной форме, если сказуемое положительное, и, наоборот, в положительной форме, если глагол-сказуемое отрицательный. Местоимение, которое употребляется в конце разделительного вопроса должно соответствовать в лице и числе подлежащему.
