Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate question tag:
I am not too old, _____?

• A. am I
• B. are I
• C. were I
• D. was I

Answer 1

The correct option is A am I

A question tag turns a statement into a question. It is often used for checking information that we think or we know is true. Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject.Usually, if the main clause is positive, the question tag is negative. If the main clause is negative, the tag is positive.

The given sentence is negative. Hence, the question tag should be positive.

The subject is: 'I'. The modal used is: 'am'. Hence, the appropriate question tag is: 'am I?' as given in option A.

Options B, C and D are incorrect as the modal has been changed from 'am' to 'are', 'were' and 'was' respectively in these options.
