Thinking point
1. Notice that the underlined words include an apostrophe.
2. What are the two words being contracted in the rst question?
isn’t
3. What are the two words being contracted in the second question?

The underlined words are question tags. Question tags are added to the
end of a sentence to make it a question.
When the sentence is in the afrmative, the question tag is in the negative.
Example: It’s raining today,isn’t it?
When the sentence is in the negative, the question tag is in the afrmative.
