Ex1: Choose the correct answer

1. As far as I know Jim, and according to what his mum told about him, he hates football and never plays it, C) does he?

   • (The correct tag question is "does he" because the main sentence is in the present tense and positive.)

2. You really think that those over there are our new teacher’s kids, C) aren’t they?

   • (The correct tag question is "aren’t they" because the main sentence is positive, and the subject "those" is plural.)

3. They had to provide some evidence to the court to clear him of the accusation, E) didn’t they?

   • (The correct tag question is "didn't they" because the main sentence is in the past tense, and it is positive.)

4. Just because the teacher of math has strict rules in class, everybody dislikes him too much, E) don’t they?

   • (The correct tag question is "don’t they" because the subject "everybody" refers to a singular noun, but grammatically it takes the plural form of the verb "do" in tag questions.)

5. A: What an exhausting day it was! I should better go to sleep right now, B) shouldn’t I?

   • (The correct tag question is "shouldn’t I" because the main sentence uses "should" in the positive form.)
