Exercises Explanation Downloads

Question tags - aren't you? don't you?

Exercise 1

Choose the correct form to complete the question tags below.

Question tags - Function

Question tags are used at the end of statements to turn the statements into questions. We normally use question tags to check something you think you know or you think is true.

Question tags - Form

Use the same auxiliary verb as in the main sentence. If there is no auxiliary verb, use do for present and did for past. And always use a comma before the question tag and a subject pronoun at the end ( I, you, he, she, it, we, you they)

If the main sentence is negative, use a positive auxiliary. If the main sentence is positive, use a negative auxiliary.

Aren't I?

Note when we have an affirmative sentence with I am, the question tag is aren't I?

Comparative and superlative adjectives

The comparative form

We use the comparative form of the adjective to compare two things.

Less ... than

We can also use the form less + adjective + than. Less is the opposite of more.

(Not) as ... as

We can also use the form (not) as + adjective + as.

Peter isn't as considerate as Marta. (=Marta is more considerate)

Than me / than I am

After than or as ... as we use an object pronoun ( me, you, him, etc.) or a subject pronoun ( I, you, he, she, etc.) + auxiliary verb.

Much/a lot/a bit more...

Before the comparative ( more or -er) we can use much, a lot or a bit.

Any/no more than

We can use any/ no + comparative ( any better, no faster, any more expensive, etc.). We use any in negative sentences and no with positive verbs.

Superlative adjectives

We use the superlative form of an adjective or adverb to compare more than two things.

The most... in...

After the superlative we use in + names of places or singular words for groups of people (class, school, team, family, etc.)

We normally use of + periods of time or a number of people ( of the year, of my life, of my brothers, of the students, etc.).

The most... I have ever...

We often use the superlative with the present perfect tense and ever.

The/my/Tom's best ...

Before the superlative we always use the, or my/your/his/etc. or Tom's/Jenny's/etc.)

The least

The opposite of the most is the least

Comparing actions with adverbs

We can use the comparative or superlative form of adverbs to compare actions.

With adverbs ending in - ly, you must always use more to form the comparative, and most to form the superlative

For adverbs that that have the same form as adjectives, the comparative and superlative forms are like adjectives: add - er to form the comparative and - est to form the superlative. The most common of these adverbs are: late-later, early-earlier, fast-faster, hard-harder, long-longer.
