Question

Select an appropriate question tag for the following sentence:

You have finished your work, __________

• A. have you?
• B. haven't you?
• C. aren't you?
• D. did you?

Answer 1

The correct option is B haven't you?

Question tags are short questions used at the end of sentences for one of the two reasons:

- to encourage the expected response;

- to confirm the action/ event mentioned in the sentence.

Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject. A positive statement is followed by a negative question tag and vice versa. The given statement is a positive sentence and the helping verb used is 'have'. Therefore the question tag is: haven't you?
