Choose the option with the most appropriate question tag, considering both grammar and pragmatics:
"You finished writing the lesson plan on time, __________?"
Ⓐ don’t you
Ⓑ didn’t you
Ⓒ haven’t you
Ⓓ hadn’t you
Ⓔ won’t you
The correct answer is B) didn’t you.
In English question tags:
-
If the main sentence is affirmative, the tag is negative.
-
The auxiliary verb in the tag must match the tense of the main verb.
Sentence:
You finished writing the lesson plan on time, ____?
-
Main verb: finished → Simple Past
-
Auxiliary for Simple Past: did
-
Since the sentence is affirmative, the tag must be negative.
So the correct tag is:
You finished writing the lesson plan on time, didn’t you?
