Hello Sir You're a great teacher of English. But English Sill is not too good to speak well. Love and Dating Phrases are very nice and never heard those. Moreover speaking style is stunning. Bless me I could speak English. Thank you.
Yes, you can say "Let's go home, shall we?" and it is indeed a tag question. In this case: The main clause is a suggestion or a request ("Let's go home"). The tag "shall we?" seeks confirmation or agreement in a polite way, similar to asking "Don't you agree?" In tag questions, the auxiliary verb in the tag reflects the mood or tense of the main clause. Since "Let's" (let us) is a suggestion, the tag "shall we" fits because it's commonly used with suggestions or invitations.
Hello! I just want to ask about the negative statement + positive statement question tag. My student asked me why we can't use " are I" as positive question tag but can use "aren't I" in negative question tag. Hope you will enlighten me. Thank you so much!
Hi! I had never thought of that... but here's the explanation. In English, the subject pronoun "I" pairs with the auxiliary verb "am" rather than "are." This is why we say "I am" instead of "I are." Consequently, when forming tag questions, the tag must match the auxiliary verb used in the main clause. For the statement "I'm handsome," the correct positive tag question is "aren't I?" This is because "aren't" is the contracted form of "are not," which is used with "I" in tag questions despite the usual pair being "am." The reason we can't say "are I" is that "are" does not grammatically match with "I." English uses "aren't I" as an exception for tag questions instead of "amn't I," which would be the logical but nonstandard form. The construction "amn't" fell out of use and "aren't I" became the accepted form.
It was moving quite quickly, wasn't it? We will get married very soon, won't we? he gets too many compliments, doesn't he? I'm making many examples, aren't I? They are about to call it a day, aren't they? I'm not really up to solving problems, aren't I? He looks down on everyone, doesn't he? it is raining, isn't it? The road got darker, didn't it? Learning French is indeed tough, isn't it? The experts report that the prices are going up, aren't they? You didn't stick your nose in our business, did you? Thank you for creating very useful videos. I'm thrilled to watch all the videos on your excellent channel, aren't I? Good luck to everybody and don't forget to count all the examples😂 With deep appreciation, Ukraine.
Wow! You're a good student!🤩 Allow me to give you a challenge. There are 2 mistakes in the examples you provided. Can you find them? They are tough to find. Looking forward to your reply. 👍
Good question! The rule for using tag questions with imperative sentences is that the tag often seeks agreement, compliance, or cooperation from the listener. In most cases, the tag is phrased as "will you," "won't you," or sometimes "can you." These are typically used based on the tone or formality of the sentence: 1. "Will you" - used for neutral or standard requests. Example: Close the door, will you? 2. "Won't you" - adds a more polite or persuasive tone. Example: Stay for dinner, won't you? 3. "Can you" or "Could you" - sometimes used when making requests or asking for help. Example: Help me with this, could you? The tag question usually matches the mood of the imperative sentence, and it softens the command by making it feel more like a polite request or a suggestion.
Sorry, since my channel is faceless, sharing my slides would mean that unscrupulous people could reuse them to make videos and make money from my work. I hope you understand...
@@englishspeaking360 don't worry..and by the way let me inform you that I'm not a content creator.. you can a watermark on your slides so that nobody cant reuse them for their channel👍
Hello! That's a nice try but make sure you have the right auxiliary verb in the tag question. You have made a nice video, haven't you? Thanks for watching! 🤩🇨🇦
Hello! To reply to a tag question, you need to use yes or no plus the same auxiliary verb as in the question. You have been to the US, haven't you? Yes, I have./ No, I haven't.
Hello! In the sentence , "Your grandma has a smartphone" HAS is a verb , not an auxiliary. The auxiliary is hidden. In order to find out what the auxiliary is, you can put the sentence at the negative form. "Your grandma doesn't have a smartphone." DOES is the auxiliary. Therefore, the opposite is DOESN'T and that is what you have to use in the tag question part of the sentence. Your Grandma has a smartphone, doesn't she? Do you understand better now? I hope it's clear.
Yep, that's right. In standard English, "Am I not?" is not typically used as a tag question. Instead, the contraction "Aren't I?" is commonly used, even though it's grammatically irregular. So, for tag questions: - Correct (standard): "I'm doing well, aren't I?" - Not standard: "I'm doing well, am I not?" While "Am I not?" can be used in full sentences for emphasis or formality, it isn't used as a tag question in everyday English.

Outstanding video. Thank you so much. But there are other exceptions. For example, is it correct: Let's go home, shall we? Regards,
Yes, you can say "Let's go home, shall we?" and it is indeed a tag question.
In this case:
The main clause is a suggestion or a request ("Let's go home").
The tag "shall we?" seeks confirmation or agreement in a polite way, similar to asking "Don't you agree?"

What's the question tag for the sums
were too easy to solve
For that sentence you would say, ""The sums were too easy to solve, weren't they?"
Excelent can we be friends, can't we?

Is that question or the statement is right??
Positive... - negative....,
negative - positive.....
Rule will it apply for imperative sentence...???
Good question!
The rule for using tag questions with imperative sentences is that the tag often seeks agreement, compliance, or cooperation from the listener. In most cases, the tag is phrased as "will you," "won't you," or sometimes "can you." These are typically used based on the tone or formality of the sentence:

I liked the idea
You tought us language,(did you)
Yes,I did! Thanks for watching!
You have made nice video. don't you😂
Hello! That's a nice try but make sure you have the right auxiliary verb in the tag question. You have made a nice video, haven't you?
Thanks for watching! 🤩🇨🇦
Can I say => You ask about this, haven't you?
No, you cannot say that. Your 1st verb is the problem. Maybe you mean, You're asking about this, aren't you? That would make sense.
How to reply?
Hello! To reply to a tag question, you need to use yes or no plus the same auxiliary verb as in the question.
You have been to the US, haven't you? Yes, I have./ No, I haven't.
You didn't steal my wallet, did you
Yes 😂
Lol! You can use that example only if you have friends that you don't really trust. 😂👍
I still can't understand the example of the Grandma one.
Hello! In the sentence , "Your grandma has a smartphone" HAS is a verb , not an auxiliary. The auxiliary is hidden. In order to find out what the auxiliary is, you can put the sentence at the negative form. "Your grandma doesn't have a smartphone." DOES is the auxiliary.
