Question

Add question tag to confirm the statement:

Helen, you haven't got a bicycle pump, _________

• A. do you?
• B. don't you?
• C. have you?
• D. haven't you?

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

have you?

Question tags are used in a sense that contradicts the rest of the sentence. Moreover, the verb remains the same without any change in tense. Since the rest of the sentence is in negative, the question tag should be positive. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options either have the same sense as the sentence or use a different verb. Hence, these are incorrect.
