English Grammar Test: Question Tags and Word Order

The sentence is positive and uses are, so the tag is negative with the same verb: aren't you.

A negative sentence with doesn't takes a positive tag with does: does she.

The negative tag for I am is irregular: aren't I. Am not I has the wrong word order.

Suggestions with Let's take the tag shall we.

Nobody makes the sentence negative, so the tag is positive, and the pronoun used for nobody is they: did they.

They've = they have, so the tag repeats the auxiliary have in the negative: haven't they.

In sentences with there is, there is repeated in the tag: isn't there.

Used to is a past form that works like an ordinary verb, so the tag uses did: didn't you.

Adverbs of frequency such as always go before the main verb, and the object follows the verb directly: always drinks coffee.

Adjectives normally follow the order opinion, age, material: beautiful (opinion), old (age), wooden (material).

In an indirect question (after Do you know…) the word order is subject + verb, without do/does: what time the store opens.

What is the subject of this question, so no auxiliary is needed: What happened? Was happened is wrong because happen has no passive.

Here where is not the subject, so the question needs the auxiliary did + subject + base verb: did you go. After did the verb is never in the past form.

Enough comes after an adjective: old enough. Too cannot follow the adjective, and too much is not used before an adjective.

The usual order is subject, verb, object, place, time: I met my friends at the café yesterday. Do not put a time or place phrase between the verb and its object.
