Question Tags

जब आप कोई बात कहते हैं और फिर उससे confirmation चाहते हैं, तो आप Hindi में अक्सर कहते हैं –
“है ना?”, “नहीं?”, “ठीक है?”, “ऐसा ही है ना?”
English में इस तरह की बातें हम Question Tags की मदद से कहते हैं।

जैसे:

  • तुम स्कूल जा रहे हो, है ना?
    👉 You are going to school, aren’t you?

  • वह नहीं आया, नहीं?
    👉 He didn’t come, did he?

✅ What is a Question Tag?

Question Tag एक short question होता है, जो किसी statement के बाद पूछा जाता है, ताकि हम confirm कर सकें कि हमारी कही बात सही है या नहीं।

यह एक mini-question की तरह होता है, जो sentence के end में लगाया जाता है।

जैसे:

  • She is your sister, isn’t she?

  • They won the match, didn’t they?

🧠 कैसे बनाएं Question Tag?

बनाने का formula simple है:

👉 Statement + Auxiliary verb (helping verb) + Subject (pronoun)

Rule 1:
अगर main sentence positive है, तो tag negative होगा।
Example:

  • He is a doctor, isn’t he?
    (Positive sentence → Negative tag)

Rule 2:
अगर main sentence negative है, तो tag positive होगा।
Example:

  • She doesn’t like tea, does she?
    (Negative sentence → Positive tag)

🧾 कुछ Common Helping Verbs और उनके Tags

Main Verb FormPositive Sentence → Negative TagNegative Sentence → Positive Tag
isHe is smart, isn’t he?He isn’t smart, is he?
areThey are here, aren’t they?They aren’t here, are they?
wasShe was late, wasn’t she?She wasn’t late, was she?
haveYou have money, haven’t you?You haven’t money, have you?
canHe can swim, can’t he?He can’t swim, can he?
willYou will come, won’t you?You won’t come, will you?
do/does/didYou like it, don’t you?You don’t like it, do you?

🎯 ध्यान रखने योग्य बातें

🔸 अगर sentence में no, never, hardly, rarely, barely जैसे negative sense के शब्द हैं, तो वो negative माने जाते हैं।
Example:

  • He rarely comes on time, does he?
    (Rarely = Negative feeling)

🔸 Let’s से शुरू होने वाले वाक्यों के साथ tag होता है – shall we?
Example:

  • Let’s go for a walk, shall we?

🔸 अगर sentence में I am हो, तो tag में अक्सर aren’t I use होता है (rule exception)।
Example:

  • I’m your friend, aren’t I?
