Tag questions can be difficult, can’t they? Learn how to use them properly in this English grammar lesson. You can also watch another lesson on Tag Questions, by AlexESL.
Hi there ! I’m Howard . I like all the lessons ! It’s easy to understand . what are the differences between ” She hates ” and ” She hate ” . I’m confused with the ‘ s ‘ . Thanks a lot !
In British English it’s common to use “I’ve got” instead of “I have” with the same meaning, for example “I’ve got a car”. So, ‘have’ is used as an auxiliary verb and in tag questions, we have (we’ve got ;-)):
“They’ve got children, haven’t they?”
BIG THANKS for your time.
Thank you very much.
After watching your video not it is crystal clear how to use the tag questions.
In 12 minutes you taught me all I have to know and my old teacher tried to teach me more than one week ;-)
Hi,
I regret not seeing your lessons before. I’m a teacher of English and as I’m not a native speaker of English, sometimes I get confused about some sentences. Is it OK to have your e-mail address to consult you?
I’d like to know the correct question tag for this sentence ( I suggest we play football,..?)
Sorry for being talkative
Thanks
Hi Rohni,
This is Fazal from Pakistan,
Really, your style for making understand the things is really very fantastic and cute and infact I like it. Quite speaking, I am still having problem in Taq sentences but I am sure it will improve with the passage of time. Is it possible to communicate with you directly either through online chat or by email etc. to rectify the mistakes/problems which I am having presently.
hi rani , realy you have nice way to learn , i wich more video for speaking,how to talk with confidence also i need your support yo explain me the diffrence between had,has been,and when can i use them >? thnks
will you help me to learn on how to speak English in just a short time… because i want to work in call center.. and my interview is just 2 weeks from now…?
After I watch your video for tag question. I can use the tag question for correct way. But I want to ask you that why we need to use the tag question and when we can use the tag question ?
i am vey happy to viset this side and to learn english free, i feal this side to be inshallah the best isde all of the world to learng english , and i sea thes teachers is excalanc how to explaning leasons . and i say to you good jobs
Hello Ronnie I’ve been following your lessons very useful information for me, I have a medium level of English but my biggest problem is that I don’t feel confident when I need talk in public, sometimes I have confussions about the past. May be when I writing is easy for me but when I need make a complete sentence in English talking in past upsss !! the confusion comes to me. Also I have many problems to mange the articles like to, for, on, in, out so on … thanks in advance for your time and if you could make a lesson about this prepositions and may be tips to speak in public would be great
I can give you the only tip about speaking in public………DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE A MISTAKE!
We are only human and make mistakes everyday! Don’t worry if you say a word wrong….. as long as you can communicate what you need to say!! With that in mind, just TRY and speak and I bet you will find that your confidence and English skills will improve!
you’re right teacher. All who want be good at anything. just he has to try out more and more after more trying he will catch his goals and no one can stop him.
hi mam,thanx alot for ur TIP,i also feel hesitation to talk in english infront of public but after endvid i found great change in my talking skill,and its because only due to u teachers,thanx for spending ur prcious time upon us:)
I just read something about imperative statements as:
- Leave me alone… will you?
- Give a hand…would you?
Why is it?
And when we use Let’s, That and There tha tag question become different…help me!
I appreciate very much your videos…are really funny!
Thanks
Leave me alone… will you?
Give a hand… would you?
Let’s…
These are not tag questions! That is why they don’t follow the tag question rules!
i love the way you teach teacher Ronnie i understand you and in every quiz i did i made it perfect i’m so happy that i can do it!..thanks to you ma’am it enhance my knowledge i learned a lot!
thank you . I like the way you use to explain lessons. Seriously, I fell my english grow up every timme i finish to watch your videos. Again, thanks for the good job you do.
Hi Ronnie, really your teaching way is very easy and excellent.I like your lessons pecially Grammar and spelling.Please I want to know the ans.-I am a learner,—–? (ain’t I/ amn’t I/—-)Thank u very much.
I teach English too, but I am not a native speaker of this beautiful language, so I find your lessons very helpful, thank you : ) I like how logical they are and the clear way (and funny) in which you can explain things, thank you again : ) Malgosia
Dear Teacher,
Am I correct to understand that tag questions are used to confirm the expected answers? For eg. I think that you enjoy teaching English with engVID. So, to confirm that what I am thinking is correct I then ask you this Tag question “You enjoy teaching English with engVID, don’t you?” May be it would be better if you could possibly explain the reason(s)to use tag questions.
Thank you very much.
Hello my besst teacher Ronnie! first of all,i hope you’re doing well, i just wanna know when we use perfect tense for example:
“have you been in london,…………..??
i’ll be greatful if you’ll enlighten me please.Thank you !
We use present perfect to speak about an event in the past with no time indicator! eg… I’ve been to London. (I didn’t tell you when I went!)
thank you so much,indeed you are a good teacher and your method teaching is so well.iam english teacher at primary school from kurdistan of iraq,l was so happy when l watched your lessons and velans lesson ,l hope l can teach my students in the same method as you have,however iam not good at english but l will try to improve my english in here.iam so bad at writting but iam good at speaking english,,,can you show me some ways to to be better???
Hello my best teacher Ronnie,first of all i hope you’re doing well.I have asked you a question concerning the perfect tense,and you have replied me clearly thank you so much for that,but i just want you please to complete for me the following sentence with a question tag:
_”Have you been in london,……? what will be the correct ending for this stce pls?
Ronnie,could you plz help me with the use of had in English.It is quite confusing as far as following two sentenses are concerned.
first one “I had my dinner”
second one”The train had already left before i reached the station”
second one is correct according to English grammer because HAD is used when there are two actions. but in the first sentance there is only one action so why there is use of HAD in first sentense.
I had my dinner is simple past ( I have dinner)
Had + already + left = past perfect! had + p.p
I am again bothering you. My question is about past perfect sentence eg “She had made some delicious cookies”. is it a complete sentence because past perfect demands two actions. It means the above sentence does not make any sense. it is incomplete sentence.
The sentence is correct. Past perfect does not demand 2 actions.
Hi teacher Ronnie,
Could you plz have a lesson about how to ask a question with verb to do? also about Who, Whom and Whose!! a bit confuse to me.
Thank you :)
she is very clever. isn’t she?
He will pass the test. won’t he?
we like EngVid. don’t we?
I practice a lot to grasp English.don’t I?
Canada is a beautiful country.isn’t she?
thanks for lesson could you please check these sentences,
They are correct. Aren’t they?
Yes! They are ALL correct – excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi;you are nice and a very good teacher i have ever met…
i have a big problem with (would)so for example; it would be great(passive voice).but is it :
1- conditional present or
2- or past
3- or future
and thank you very much
This is not passive voice. Passive is to be + past participle.
“It would be great” + if/when = Conditional. “It would be great if I won the lottery.”

Hallo.
I really thanks for you video. And i learn some grammer words.
In British English it’s common to use “I’ve got” instead of “I have” with the same meaning, for example “I’ve got a car”. So, ‘have’ is used as an auxiliary verb and in tag questions, we have (we’ve got ;-)):
“They’ve got children, haven’t they?”
BIG THANKS for your time.
i like this videos
I’d like to thank you so much :)
I’m still learning English because I will study in us
you are helping me!!

Thank you very much.
After watching your video not it is crystal clear how to use the tag questions.
In 12 minutes you taught me all I have to know and my old teacher tried to teach me more than one week ;-)
Thank for this lesson!

Hi,
I regret not seeing your lessons before. I’m a teacher of English and as I’m not a native speaker of English, sometimes I get confused about some sentences. Is it OK to have your e-mail address to consult you?
I’d like to know the correct question tag for this sentence ( I suggest we play football,..?)
Sorry for being talkative
Thanks
thank you vrey motsh
thnx
thank you so match about this lesson
Sorry, no thanks! Please show us very very advanced level tags like “John as well as Don has learnt English, haven’t they?”
thanks for this great job really very usufull to us
Can you help me to complete the gap:
I’m beautiful, ____ ____?
I’m not sure but I think it is:
I’m beautiful,arn’t me?
I am beautiful, am’t I?
i welcome your correction at your side.
I think
I’m beautiful,do I?
arentI? is it best answer
i thinks it´s I´m beautiful, am I?
….and by the way the answer is Yes you are, why do you think you aren´t?
“I’m beautiful, aren’t I?”
“I’m beautiful, aren’t I?”
Why “are” instead of “am” ?
Thanks
It is just another grammar rule. I have no idea why… many grammar rules have no logical explanation!
I’m beatiful, arent i ?
That’s correct. im sure :)
amnt i?
thanks yuo are vrey good teachar and vrey kind
its too gud

Good job Ronnie.
Dear Teacher,
Am I correct to understand that tag questions are used to confirm the expected answers? For eg. I think that you enjoy teaching English with engVID. So, to confirm that what I am thinking is correct I then ask you this Tag question “You enjoy teaching English with engVID, don’t you?” May be it would be better if you could possibly explain the reason(s)to use tag questions.
Thank you very much.
praise God..thank you teacher…:)
well done,
As we know ” I’m a student,aren’t I? ” hOW about the past tense? What’s the Qtag of “I was”??!!!
I was, wasn’t I?
Hello my besst teacher Ronnie! first of all,i hope you’re doing well, i just wanna know when we use perfect tense for example:
“have you been in london,…………..??
i’ll be greatful if you’ll enlighten me please.Thank you !
We use present perfect to speak about an event in the past with no time indicator! eg… I’ve been to London. (I didn’t tell you when I went!)
thank you so much,indeed you are a good teacher and your method teaching is so well.iam english teacher at primary school from kurdistan of iraq,l was so happy when l watched your lessons and velans lesson ,l hope l can teach my students in the same method as you have,however iam not good at english but l will try to improve my english in here.iam so bad at writting but iam good at speaking english,,,can you show me some ways to to be better???
THAT’S A GREAT WEBSITE FOR NON NATIVE TEACHERS OF ENGLISH THANKS A LOT!!!
thank you
Hello my best teacher Ronnie,first of all i hope you’re doing well.I have asked you a question concerning the perfect tense,and you have replied me clearly thank you so much for that,but i just want you please to complete for me the following sentence with a question tag:
_”Have you been in london,……? what will be the correct ending for this stce pls?
…..haven’t you?
Thank you so much for the answer, Have nice day !!
Ronnie,could you plz help me with the use of had in English.It is quite confusing as far as following two sentenses are concerned.
first one “I had my dinner”
second one”The train had already left before i reached the station”
second one is correct according to English grammer because HAD is used when there are two actions. but in the first sentance there is only one action so why there is use of HAD in first sentense.
I had my dinner is simple past ( I have dinner)
Had + already + left = past perfect! had + p.p
Thanks Ronnie, Thanks a lot. You are a wonderful teacher.
I am again bothering you. My question is about past perfect sentence eg “She had made some delicious cookies”. is it a complete sentence because past perfect demands two actions. It means the above sentence does not make any sense. it is incomplete sentence.
The sentence is correct. Past perfect does not demand 2 actions.
Hi teacher Ronnie,
Could you plz have a lesson about how to ask a question with verb to do? also about Who, Whom and Whose!! a bit confuse to me.
Thank you :)
she is very clever. isn’t she?
He will pass the test. won’t he?
we like EngVid. don’t we?
I practice a lot to grasp English.don’t I?
Canada is a beautiful country.isn’t she?
thanks for lesson could you please check these sentences,
They are correct. Aren’t they?
Yes! They are ALL correct – excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks regards
hi;you are nice and a very good teacher i have ever met…
i have a big problem with (would)so for example; it would be great(passive voice).but is it :
1- conditional present or
2- or past
3- or future
and thank you very much
This is not passive voice. Passive is to be + past participle.
“It would be great” + if/when = Conditional. “It would be great if I won the lottery.”
Thanks Ronnie for your time .you’re doing very well ,aren’t you?
You ‘are the best teacher and teaching ,God bless you.
miss ronnie u r best teacher and today lesson is very fantastic god bless u
