Module 1 Europe Speaking---教案 ■Goals To learn about tag questions To role-play a conversation ■Procedures Step 1: Learning about Tag Questions A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The whole sentence is a tag question, and the mini-question at the end is called a question tag. We use tag questions at the end of statements to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: Am I right? or Do you agree? They are very common in English. The basic structure is: +Positive statement, -negative tag? -Negative statement, +positive tag? Look at these examples with positive statements: positive statement [+] negative tag [-] notes: subject auxiliary main verb auxiliary not personalpronoun(same as subject) You are coming, are nt you?
