Question Tags: Mixed Practice (Intermediate) Exercises
B1 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
Pay attention to sentences that look positive but contain hidden negatives. "He never listens" looks affirmative but means "He does not ever listen" — so the tag is positive: "does he?" Similarly, watch for indefinite pronouns: "Someone called" uses "they" in the tag despite being singular. Intermediate-level accuracy requires recognising these special cases while maintaining speed. If you score below 70%, review the specific topics (imperatives, there is/are, negative words, indefinite pronouns) before continuing to the advanced level. This exercise level corresponds closely to Cambridge B1 Preliminary examination expectations for question tag mastery.
Quick Rule
all basic patterns + there is/are + imperatives + Let's + negative words
- 1.There is a problem, isn't there? (there is pattern)
- 2.Let's take a break, shall we? (Let's pattern)
- 3.Close the window, will you? (imperative pattern)
- 4.Nobody told you, did they? (negative word + they)
- 5.She hasn't finished yet, has she? (negative verb + positive tag)
