Pengertian Question Tag
Question tag adalah pertanyaan yang kita letakkan di akhir kalimat atau pola kalimat khusus
dalam bahasa inggris yang digunakan untuk meminta konfirmasi, persetujuan, atau
penegasan. Biasanya saat kita berbicara secara langsung penggunaan question tag ini
diterapkan.

contoh “Kemarin malam Itu kamu bukan?” “Kamu Reno, kan?”. Dalam bahasa indonesia,
question tag atau paper lunch box dapat diartikan sebagai kan? bukan? ya? yuk?. Terdapat
banyak perbedaan question tag, tetapi aturannya tidak sulit untuk kita pelajari.

Question tag berupa pernyataan (statement) yang diikuti oleh pertanyaan singkat (mini-
question).

Ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan dalam Question tag, diantaranya :

1. Apa bila ada pernyataan positif (positive statement) diikuti oleh tag negatif (negative
tag).
o Positive Statement “You are Reno”
o Negative tag “aren’t you?”
o Arti “Kamu Reno, kan?”
2. Apa bila pernyataannya negatif (negative statement) diikuti oleh tag positif (positive
tag).
o Negative statement “Goku doesn’t like coffe”
o Positive tag “does he?”
o Arti “Goku tidak suka kopi, kan?”
3. Gunakan personal Pronoun ( Kata ganti nama ) dalam tag
ex : Goku isn’t fit, is he?
4. Kata “Not” dalam Negative tag selalu disingkat
ex : will not = won’t

Berikut Pola Question Tag

1. Positive Statement –  Negative Tag

Pernyataan positif (Positive Statement) diikuti oleh tag negatif (negative tag).

 Positive statement “You are Writing”

 Negative tag “aren’t you?”
Attention!

Ada beberapa kata, yang kita mengulang auxiliary yang diubah kedalam bentuk negatifHave
-> haven’t

 Will -> won’t

 Can -> can’t
 Should -> shouldn’t
 Must -> mustn’t

Jika kita tidak menemukan auxiliary dalam pernyataan tersebut, Ingat bahwa auxiliary untuk
simple present adalah “do/does” dan auxiliary untuk simple past adalah “did”.

 Plays -> doesn’t (simple present) (i,you,we they menggunakan “do”, he, she, it
menggunakan “does”)
 Study -> don’t (simple present) (I, you, we they menggunakan “do”, he she it
menggunakan “does”)
 Played -> didn’t (simple past) (I, you, we,they he, she,it menggunakan “did”)

2. Negative Statement – Positive Tag

Pernyataan negatif (Negative Statement) diikuti oleh tag positif (positive tag).

 Negative Statement “They won’t go to school”

 Positive Tag “will they?”
Attention :

Di Negative Statement, kita mengulang auxiliary yang diubah ke dalam bentuk positif.

 Aren’t you -> are

 Havent’t -> have
 Can’t -> can
 Shouldn’t -> should
 Mustn’t -> must
 Doesn’t -> does
 Don’t -> do
 Didn’t -> did

arti/makna negatif. Kata tersebut memiliki arti tidak pernah, jarang, hampir tidak, tak
seorangpun.

 Never
 Seldom
  Hardly
 Rarely
 Barely
 Nothing
 Nobody/No one

Apabila suatu pernyataan menggunakan kata tersebut, maka pernyataan tersebut pernyataan
negatif (Negative Statement). Sebab itu kita menggunakan tag positif (positve tag).

 Negative Statement “You never come to this place”

 Positive “Do you?”
 Arti “Kamu tidak pernah datang ke tempat ini, kan?”

 Jika subjeknya nobody, no one, somebody, someone, everyone, maka menggunaan tag

o We have visited Bandung Zoo, haven’t we? (Kita telah mengjungi bandung
Zoo, kan?
o You have finished, haven’t you? (Kamu sudah selesai, kan?)

 “Have” bisa digunakan sebagai verb (kata kerja), contohnya

 o She has a doll, doesn’t she?
**Ingat dalam kalimat tersebut sebenarnya: She (does) has a doll. Jadi
question tagnya dari paper lunch box adalah : doesn’t, she?
o They have a new car, don’t they?
**Dalam kalimat tersebut sebenarnya: They (do) have new car. Jadi question
tagnya adalah : don’t they?
