Las Question Tags
En inglés es frecuente que terminemos las frases con una frase corta, de signo contrario, la cual tiene la intención de pedir la opinión o buscar la aprobación del interlocutor, son las llamadas question tags.
Equivalen a: ¿verdad?, ¿no es verdad?, ¿no?, ¿no es así? ¿en serio?
Ejemplo: Your brother is older than you, isn't he? (Tu hermano es mayor que tú, verdad?) You can help me, can't you? (Puedes ayudarme, ¿verdad?)
Para formar esta pregunta corta utilizaremos el auxiliar de la frase principal y su sujeto pero de signo contrario. Si no tuviera auxiliar entonces utilizaríamos el auxiliar to do. Ejemplos: He doesn't like Susan, does he?
He likes Susan, doesn't he?
He is getting married, isn't he?
He isn't getting married, is he?
You worked yesterday, didn't you?
El interlocutor puede contestar retomando las question tags. - He likes Susan. (Le gusta Susan) - Doesn't he? (¿de verdad?)
