Tag questions - вопросы "с хвостиком"

Что такое Tag questions?

Tag questions  - это когда повествовательное утверждение становится вопросительным при помощи прибавления «Хвостика» (a tag), который при переводе будет звучать «не так ли?»

Как образуются Tag questions?

Есть простое правило:

• если в главном (повествовательном) предложении глагол стоит в отрицательной форме, то "хвостик" ставим положительный, и наоборот: если в главное - положительное, то "хвостик" — в отрицании. Мы называем это правилом "батарейки".

He is at school, isn't he?

• если подлежащее выражено существительным, то в "хвостике" мы заменяем его на местоимение.

Peter doesn't go to school, does he?

• отрицание в "хвостике" в том же времени, в каком стоит главное предложение. Обрати внимание, что в хвостике мы используем только вспомогательные глаголы.

He is watching TV, isn't he?

She played the guitar, didn't she? 

They will go to the cinema, won't they?

Your parents haven't bought a new car, have they?

English homes. My flat

Many English families live in flats, but a lot of people have got their own houses. There are two floors in the traditional English house; the ground floor and the first floor. The bedrooms and a bathroom (or bathrooms) are upstairs on the first floor. The sitting room, the dining room and the study are downstairs on the ground floor. The kitchen and the hall are downstairs on the ground floor too.
The sitting room is usually the largest room in the house. There is always a sofa, some chairs and armchairs in it. There is often a carpet on the floor. It makes the room comfortable. English people usually have a fireplace in the sitting room. They often spend evenings in armchairs near the fireplace. They read books, watch TV, listen to music or sit around and talk. People in England like their homes and often say, “East or West, home is best”.

I like animals

I like animals very much. There are wild animals and domestic animals. We can see wild animals in the zoo. Last week my mother and I went to the zoo. We saw a lot of animals there: tigers and lions, elephants and monkeys, giraffes and crocodiles, wolves and foxes, white bears and brown bears, horses and hares. The elephant is the biggest four-legged animal. It has got a very long nose – a trunk, and two long white teeth – tusks. The giraffe has got the longest neck. The hare’s tail is shorter than the tiger’s tail. We watched monkeys. They were very funny. They jumped, ran and made funny faces. I think that monkeys are the most interesting animals.
