In this grammar refresh, we're going to talk about big question.
The tag questions are all little questions that you add after a.
Affirmative sentence.
So let's take a look at these examples and see if we can kind of figure out how it works.
The tag is going to always be at the end and the tag is just Poupart.
Two words.
It's going to be some auxiliary verb.
So do to have or even be followed by.
The subject pronoun of the sentence, so let's go through these examples and you can kind of see how
it works.
The first group of examples, these are affirmative sentences.
And when you have an affirmative positive sentence and you add a tag question, your tag question is
going to be negative.
And so it's going to have that not.
Well, our first example is the nature is just the nature is just mesmerizing here.
Isn't it?
So that isn't it.
That is the tag.
And it comes after the sentence with a comma, but it's still part of the whole sentence, but we separate
it with that comma.
So the nature is just mesmerizing here, isn't it?
And so that tag question at the end and the whole thing into a kind of question, you're asking for
someone's opinion.
And then you'll see we used it right, it is referring to the subject from the sentence nature of need
to match those together.
And because this is a positive affirmative sentence.
We use is not, but we always use the contraction.
You wouldn't want to just use the two words by itself.
You're always want to use attraction in tag questions, but if I said the nature is just mesmerizing
here, is not it?
Nobody ever says that.
That just sounds weird.
You always want to use the contraction of is and isn't it.
Let's go through the next example, you like hiking in summer, don't you?
Again, you like hiking in summer, an affirmative positive sentence.
And then we have the tag question, don't you, and don't you know, comes from do not and then we use
you because the subject in the sentence is you.
You like hiking to.
The next example, Carol, has camped in the jungles as Inchy.
So here we're using the verb to have for our time question.
Earle has camped in the jungles as Inchy.
Right now, if the main cause is a negative sentence now, our tax question will be positive.
So we're switching it here and now we're looking at the second group of examples.
And the first one is we aren't happy with today's weather, are we?
So now the first clause we aren't happy with today is whether it's a negative sentence or a tag question
is positive, right?
Are we not?
Aren't we?
It's our.
Next example, Lucas didn't find a campsite, is he?
And so now, again, our main cause, Lucas didn't find a campsite that is negative for our tag question
is positive, did he?
Right.
We don't make it negative.
It's not.
Didn't he?
And the last sentence either and Emily won't be able to start a campfire in the rain will be.
Will they will comes from the verb to be.
In this Granma refresh.
We'll look at how we can use adverbs to kind of change or set the tone for the rest of a sentence.
By the way, this works is your adverb that you're going to use.
You put it at the beginning of your sentence and then you put a comma after it, followed by the rest
of the sentence.
And now by placing this adverb in the beginning, you're setting the tone for the rest of the sentence
or kind of modifying how the whole sentence is sound.
But let's look at our examples and see how this works.
The first one says, hopefully we won't get lost this time by adding hopefully in the front right,
we're setting this tone like, oh really?
This time I don't want to get lost.
It got lost before, but this is the time.
I think we won't hopefully we won't get lost.
The next example, Dave is a geologist.
Ironically, he despises hiking, camping.
There were contrasting the two.
Sentence's Davis, a geologist and a despites hiking and camping, but we're using that word, ironically,
to show the contrast between the two sentence geologist studies, rocks and Earth and things like that.
So that's his job.
But he doesn't like spending time outside.
And the last sentence, sadly, it will be raining the whole day, and so now we have this adverb,
sadly, and it sets the tone for the sentence.
Right now we know what they think about the rain and the rain coming the whole day.
If we just said it'll be raining the whole day.
There's no emotion attached to that, right?
There's no opinion attached to it, but if we put sadly in front now, we know that raining the whole
day is not a good thing.
