Question tag
Question tags ou tag endings so perguntas formuladas aps uma declarao com o propsito de confirm-la.
Ivan Petrov

Para fazer a question tag necessrio:

prestar ateno ao tempo verbal da orao;
saber o auxiliar do tempo da orao.
Fonte: www.sxc.hu/
photo/1009934

Por exemplo, se a orao estiver no passado, faremos a question tag usando

o auxiliar did.
Verb to be auxiliar (is, are)
We are not as intelligent as Einstein, are we?

Present Continuous / Going to auxiliar (is, are)

You are studying English now, arent you?
She isnt going home, is she?
Simple Present auxiliar (do, does)
Your bus passes at 6:30, doesnt it?
They work at CEDAF, dont they?
Simple Past auxiliar (did)
Helen bought a new dress, didnt she?
They didnt travel to New York last year, did they?
Simple Future auxiliar (will)
Robert wont travel next year, will he?

Aula 9 | Checking out e despedida

275

e-Tec Brasil

Past Continuous auxiliar (was, were)

We were studying English, werent we?
She wasnt working that time, was she?
Alm disso, voc precisa saber que, se a sentena principal for afirmativa, a
question tag ter uma estrutura negativa.
Ex.:
It was Miss King, wasnt it? (Era Miss King, no era?)
You have an account with us, dont you? (Voc tem uma conta conosco,
no tem?)
Se a declarao for negativa, a question tag ter uma estrutura afirmativa.
Ex.:
You didnt try this dress on, did you? (Voc no provou este vestido, provou?)
The boys arent making an exercise, are they? (Os meninos no esto fazendo um exerccio, esto?)
Como voc pode perceber no exemplo da orao anterior, temos como sujeito the boys (os garotos). Quando formos fazer a question tag, teremos
que substituir o sujeito the boys pelo pronome pessoal que corresponde a
ele. E, nesse caso, o pronome que corresponde a the boys they.
Veja mais alguns exemplos:
Mary loves John, doesnt she?
My parents dont live in Brazil, do they?
Portanto, as question tags so usadas para pedir confirmao do que foi
dito. Veja algumas de suas caractersticas:
vm sempre no final da orao, aps a vrgula;
usa-se sempre um pronome pessoal, nunca o nome prprio;
orao negativa question tag afirmativa;
orao afirmativa question tag negativa (verbo na forma abreviada).
