Anglais 5ème - le question tag

LE QUESTION-TAG

Les question tags sont des reprises interrogatives en fin de phrases qui correspondent au français "n’est-ce pas ?" (Ou encore, en langage familier "hein ?", "non ?").
Ils constituent aussi une manière polie de demander l’avis de l’interlocuteur.
Le question tag dépend de la phrase qui le précède.

- Si la phrase principale est affirmative, le tag est à la forme interro-négative.
Ex: Mary is French, isn’t she ? (Mary est française, n’est-ce pas ?)

Le nom est remplacé par le pronom correspondant (Mary = she). On garde le même auxiliaire.

- Si la phrase principale est négative, le tag est à la forme interrogative.
Ex: Mary isn’t French, is she ? (Mary n’est pas française, n’est-ce pas ?)

    - Si la phrase principale ne comporte pas d’auxiliaire, on utilise celui que comporterait la forme interrogative.
Ex: John works very hard, doesn’t he ? (John travaille beaucoup, n’est-ce pas ?)
