B1 - FILE 10 (FOURTH PART)

Dear Students,

Today we are going to study Question Tags. Open your books at page 167. Listen to recording 10.10 and complete the sentences in ex b.

Questions tags are reduced questions that we use at the end of a statement for confirmation. They are widely used in the English language.

• If the sentence is positive, the tag is negative, and the other way round.
• We have to use the SAME tense and the SAME subject.

Ex. You are my friend, AREN'T YOU? (+/-)
       She isn't from Japan, IS SHE? (-/+)

Now go to page 223. Look at the chart with examples of different tenses and listen to the recording. See how different tenses work in the question tags. Do exercises a and b and  check your answers on the key.

Now go back to page 167. 4 PRONUNCIATION AND SPEAKING. Questions tags have rising intonation. Listen and complete the sentences is ex a. Then repeat after the recording in 10.13.

You will find more exercises on page 176  of your books and on the Worksheet 10B Question Tags in this FOLDER. Also, I have included a PDF with extra grammar information and exercises. Please read it and try to do the exercises. Then check your answers with the key.

As usual, I recommend you log on Online Practice. Access with your code and do the extra exercises that you consider you need to revise File 10B. Don't forget to do the Listening Comprehension  exercise there and the part For Speakers of Spanish.

Also I recommend you look at File 10B of your Pocket Book for Speakers of Spanish.
