Question tags, kratki odgovori, so do I / neither do I

Question tags (≈ „zar ne?“, „je l' da?“) provjeravaju informaciju ili traže slaganje. Ponavlja se pomoćni glagol (ili do / does / did) sa zamjenicom: potvrdna rečenica → odrični tag, odrična rečenica → potvrdni tag.

Posebni slučajevi: I'm late, aren't I? — Let's go, shall we? (Idemo?) — Open the door, will you? — Nobody called, did they? (nobody je odrično).

Kratki odgovori: samo „yes“ ili „no“ može zvučati grubo. Ponavlja se pomoćni glagol: “Do you like it?” — “Yes, I do.” / “No, I don't.” (Sviđa li ti se? — Da. / Ne.) “Has she arrived?” — “Yes, she has.” “Can you drive?” — “No, I can't.”
