2. 1.3 Phoning up
GRAMMAR D
VERGELIJK:
Het is mooi weer vandaag.
Het is mooi weer vandaag, hè?
Door ‘hè’ achter de zin te plaatsen, wordt het
ineens een vraag. Zo’n aangeplakt zinnetje noem je
in het Engels een
QUESTION TAG

3. Om van een gewone zin een QUESTION TAG te
maken, moet je de volgende stappen volgen:
1. Staat er een hulpwerkwoord in de zin zoals be,
have, do, can, could of will….herhaal het dan:
You haven’t seen this, have you?
He is working, isn’t he?
They can do that, can’t they?

4. 2. Staat er een zelfstandig werkwoord in de zin, dan moet je
do, does of did in de question tag gebruiken:
You know her,
know is geen hulpww; het is een tt; dus:
You know her, don’t you?
He knows her,
know is geen hulpww; het is een tt, ‘he’ is onderwerp!; dus:
He knows her, doesn’t he?
They knew her,
knew is vt van know; geen hulpww; dus:
They knew her, didn’t they?

5. 3. NOT of geen NOT?
Als vóór de komma het woordje ‘not’ staat,
mag het achter de komma niet meer staan:
You haven’t seen her, have you?
Als vóór de komma géén ‘not’ staat, moet je
het achter de komma WEL zetten:
You have seen her, haven’t you?

6. 4. Eindig de question tag met een
onderwerp.
Schrijf dit onderwerp zo kort mogelijk op
(persoonlijk voornaamwoord):
He can swim, can’t he?
Peter can swim, can’t he?
They can swim, can’t they?
Mary and Brian can swim, can’t they?
That is in Tilburg, isn’t …….

7. 1. Kat and Alfie would make a lovely couple, wouldn’t they?
2. The walls are looking a bit yellow, aren’t they?
3. We could organize the meeting for Tuesday, couldn’t we?
4. She doesn’t need to be here until 3 o’ clock, does she?
5. They thought about moving the office to Amsterdam, didn’t
they?
6. That’s central London, isn’t it?

Dear all
The reception area is going to be painted next week and we
are interested in any ideas you have
for the colour scheme. Perhaps you have a favourite colour
that you think would look good on the walls.
Any suggestions are welcome.
You can either tell or email Serena your ideas. And you’ve
got until the end of the week to pass on your ideas.
Sally
