"Question tags" atau pertanyaan penegas adalah sebuah statement atau pernyataan yang disambung dengan pertanyaan kecil di belakangnya. Question tags digunakan untuk menkonfirmasi atau memastikan tentang suatu hal.

Kalimat pernyataan dan pertanyaan penegas (tag question) harus menggunakan pola tenses yang sama dan berlawanan dengan kalimat utama (jika kata kerja pada kalimat utama positif, maka Question Tag nya harus negatif):

A teacher goes to school, doesn't he?

A good student always works hard, doesn't he?

Milla plants flowers, doesn't she?

You are a teacher, aren't you?

Penjelasan

  • Question tag merupakan kata tanya pendek yang berada di ujung kalimat yang berfungsi untuk mengubah pernyataan menjadi pertanyaan atau meminta konfirmasi terhadap lawan bicara.

Menentukan question tag cukup mudah, perhatikan di kalimat sebelumnya apakah menggunakan to be atau verb.

  • Jika kalimat awal menggunakan to be, question tag-nya mengikuti.
  • Jika kalimat awal menggunakan verb, question tag-nya menggunakan do/does/did (sesuaikan tenses dan subjeknya)
  • Jika kalimat awal positif, maka question tag-nya negatif.
  • Jika kalimat awal negatif, maka question tag-nya positif.

Contoh:

  • She walks through the forest, doesn't she? (positif, QT negatif)
  • She doesn't walk through the forest, does she? (negatif, QT positif)
  • They go to the gym, don't they? (positif, QT negatif)
  • They don't go to the gym, do they? (negatif, QT positif)
  • He wrote that, didn't he? (simple past positif, simple past QT negatif)
  • He didn't write that, did he? (simple past negatif, simple past QT positif)
