In this lesson, you will practice how to confirm information in English.

Let's look at the main dialogue.

Two people are having a conversation.

The business has been going well, hasn't it?

At least that's what people have been saying.

Yes, it's going very well, so well in fact that I could use another pair of hands.

In this first line, the character ends her sentence

with the question tag, hasn't it?

This is a way to confirm that the speaker's

understanding of the situation is correct.

In most situations, a question tag both needs to be

in the same tense as the rest of the sentence

and to use the same verb. It also needs to use in the same tense as the rest of the sentence and to use the same verb.

It also needs to use the negative form of the verb

if the sentence uses the positive form and vice versa.

Lastly, the subject needs to match the subject

that was already established.

Let's practice with this grammar more in this lesson.
