1
00:00:00,930 --> 00:00:05,100
In this grammar refresh, we're going to talk about big question.

2
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:13,290
The tag questions are all little questions that you add after a.

3
00:00:14,630 --> 00:00:16,880
Affirmative sentence.

4
00:00:17,630 --> 00:00:22,310
So let's take a look at these examples and see if we can kind of figure out how it works.

5
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:29,030
The tag is going to always be at the end and the tag is just Poupart.

6
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:29,740
Two words.

7
00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:33,350
It's going to be some auxiliary verb.

8
00:00:33,620 --> 00:00:38,960
So do to have or even be followed by.

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:48,200
The subject pronoun of the sentence, so let's go through these examples and you can kind of see how

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:48,700
it works.

11
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:54,290
The first group of examples, these are affirmative sentences.

12
00:00:54,710 --> 00:01:02,090
And when you have an affirmative positive sentence and you add a tag question, your tag question is

13
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:03,690
going to be negative.

14
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:05,630
And so it's going to have that not.

15
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:13,990
Well, our first example is the nature is just the nature is just mesmerizing here.

16
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:15,490
Isn't it?

17
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:17,620
So that isn't it.

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,330
That is the tag.

19
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:27,090
And it comes after the sentence with a comma, but it's still part of the whole sentence, but we separate

20
00:01:27,090 --> 00:01:27,930
it with that comma.

21
00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:32,450
So the nature is just mesmerizing here, isn't it?

22
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:39,450
And so that tag question at the end and the whole thing into a kind of question, you're asking for

23
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:40,790
someone's opinion.

24
00:01:42,820 --> 00:01:51,490
And then you'll see we used it right, it is referring to the subject from the sentence nature of need

25
00:01:51,490 --> 00:01:52,930
to match those together.

26
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,570
And because this is a positive affirmative sentence.

27
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:02,340
We use is not, but we always use the contraction.

28
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,660
You wouldn't want to just use the two words by itself.

29
00:02:06,770 --> 00:02:14,120
You're always want to use attraction in tag questions, but if I said the nature is just mesmerizing

30
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,900
here, is not it?

31
00:02:16,730 --> 00:02:17,800
Nobody ever says that.

32
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,860
That just sounds weird.

33
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:23,360
You always want to use the contraction of is and isn't it.

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,530
Let's go through the next example, you like hiking in summer, don't you?

35
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,000
Again, you like hiking in summer, an affirmative positive sentence.

36
00:02:36,170 --> 00:02:44,690
And then we have the tag question, don't you, and don't you know, comes from do not and then we use

37
00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:47,870
you because the subject in the sentence is you.

38
00:02:48,290 --> 00:02:50,660
You like hiking to.

39
00:02:52,060 --> 00:02:57,160
The next example, Carol, has camped in the jungles as Inchy.

40
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:01,900
So here we're using the verb to have for our time question.

41
00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:07,130
Earle has camped in the jungles as Inchy.

42
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:16,620
Right now, if the main cause is a negative sentence now, our tax question will be positive.

43
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:21,130
So we're switching it here and now we're looking at the second group of examples.

44
00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:27,070
And the first one is we aren't happy with today's weather, are we?

45
00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:35,110
So now the first clause we aren't happy with today is whether it's a negative sentence or a tag question

46
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:36,570
is positive, right?

47
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,470
Are we not?

48
00:03:38,650 --> 00:03:39,290
Aren't we?

49
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,540
It's our.

50
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:47,190
Next example, Lucas didn't find a campsite, is he?

51
00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:57,920
And so now, again, our main cause, Lucas didn't find a campsite that is negative for our tag question

52
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,930
is positive, did he?

53
00:04:00,450 --> 00:04:00,730
Right.

54
00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:02,170
We don't make it negative.

55
00:04:02,690 --> 00:04:03,140
It's not.

56
00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:03,770
Didn't he?

57
00:04:04,950 --> 00:04:11,910
And the last sentence either and Emily won't be able to start a campfire in the rain will be.

58
00:04:14,230 --> 00:04:17,440
Will they will comes from the verb to be.

59
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:21,750
In this Granma refresh.

60
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:30,010
We'll look at how we can use adverbs to kind of change or set the tone for the rest of a sentence.

61
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:35,380
By the way, this works is your adverb that you're going to use.

62
00:04:35,410 --> 00:04:41,880
You put it at the beginning of your sentence and then you put a comma after it, followed by the rest

63
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,650
of the sentence.

64
00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:50,820
And now by placing this adverb in the beginning, you're setting the tone for the rest of the sentence

65
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,850
or kind of modifying how the whole sentence is sound.

66
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:59,450
But let's look at our examples and see how this works.

67
00:05:00,970 --> 00:05:09,210
The first one says, hopefully we won't get lost this time by adding hopefully in the front right,

68
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,550
we're setting this tone like, oh really?

69
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:14,590
This time I don't want to get lost.

70
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,100
It got lost before, but this is the time.

71
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:22,890
I think we won't hopefully we won't get lost.

72
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:27,070
The next example, Dave is a geologist.

73
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Ironically, he despises hiking, camping.

74
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,880
There were contrasting the two.

75
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Sentence's Davis, a geologist and a despites hiking and camping, but we're using that word, ironically,

76
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:53,350
to show the contrast between the two sentence geologist studies, rocks and Earth and things like that.

77
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:55,470
So that's his job.

78
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,450
But he doesn't like spending time outside.

79
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:06,880
And the last sentence, sadly, it will be raining the whole day, and so now we have this adverb,

80
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,760
sadly, and it sets the tone for the sentence.

81
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,910
Right now we know what they think about the rain and the rain coming the whole day.

82
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:18,910
If we just said it'll be raining the whole day.

83
00:06:20,290 --> 00:06:23,370
There's no emotion attached to that, right?

84
00:06:23,410 --> 00:06:30,100
There's no opinion attached to it, but if we put sadly in front now, we know that raining the whole

85
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:31,050
day is not a good thing.
