📘 Materi Question Tag

1. Pengertian

Question Tag adalah bentuk pertanyaan singkat yang ditambahkan di akhir sebuah kalimat pernyataan untuk meminta persetujuan, konfirmasi, atau memastikan kebenaran dari lawan bicara.
Biasanya berbentuk auxiliary verb (kata kerja bantu) + pronoun (kata ganti subjek).

Contoh sederhana:

  • You are a student, aren’t you?
    (Kamu seorang siswa, bukan?)

2. Pola Umum Question Tag

  • Jika kalimat utama positif → question tag negatif

  • Jika kalimat utama negatif → question tag positif

Rumus:
👉 Main Clause (+) , Auxiliary + not + Subject Pronoun (?)
👉 Main Clause (–) , Auxiliary + Subject Pronoun (?)

3. Aturan Dasar

  1. Auxiliary verb (to be, have, will, can, must, dll.) mengikuti kalimat utama.

  2. Subjek pada tag harus berupa pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).

  3. Jika kalimat tidak ada auxiliary verb → gunakan do/does/did.

  4. Intonasi naik (jika benar-benar bertanya) dan turun (jika hanya minta konfirmasi).

4. Contoh Kalimat Question Tag

A. Menggunakan to be (am, is, are, was, were)

  1. She is beautiful, isn’t she?
    (Dia cantik, bukan?)

  2. They are tired, aren’t they?
    (Mereka lelah, bukan?)

  3. He was at home yesterday, wasn’t he?
    (Dia ada di rumah kemarin, bukan?)

  4. You aren’t ready, are you?
    (Kamu belum siap, kan?)

B. Menggunakan do/does/did

  1. You like pizza, don’t you?
    (Kamu suka pizza, kan?)

  2. She doesn’t speak Spanish, does she?
    (Dia tidak bisa bahasa Spanyol, bukan?)

  3. They studied hard last night, didn’t they?
    (Mereka belajar keras tadi malam, bukan?)

  4. He doesn’t know the answer, does he?
    (Dia tidak tahu jawabannya, kan?)

C. Menggunakan have/has/had

  1. You have finished the homework, haven’t you?
    (Kamu sudah menyelesaikan PR, kan?)

  2. She hasn’t been here before, has she?
    (Dia belum pernah di sini sebelumnya, bukan?)

  3. They had met before, hadn’t they?
    (Mereka sudah pernah bertemu sebelumnya, bukan?)

D. Menggunakan modal auxiliaries (will, can, could, must, should, may, might)

  1. You will come tomorrow, won’t you?
    (Kamu akan datang besok, kan?)

  2. He can swim, can’t he?
    (Dia bisa berenang, bukan?)

  3. They couldn’t solve the problem, could they?
    (Mereka tidak bisa menyelesaikan masalah itu, kan?)

  4. We must go now, mustn’t we?
    (Kita harus pergi sekarang, bukan?)

  5. She should study harder, shouldn’t she?
    (Dia harus belajar lebih giat, bukan?)

E. Question Tag dengan I am

👉 Untuk I am, bentuk question tag yang benar adalah aren’t I, bukan am not I.

  • I am your friend, aren’t I?
    (Aku temanmu, bukan?)

5. Intonasi dalam Question Tag

  • Rising Intonation (Nada Naik): digunakan jika benar-benar bertanya.
    You don’t like coffee, do you? (Nada naik → ingin tahu jawabannya)

  • Falling Intonation (Nada Turun): digunakan jika hanya meminta persetujuan.
    It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it? (Nada turun → hanya minta setuju)

6. Fungsi Question Tag

  1. Meminta konfirmasi:
    She is your sister, isn’t she? (Dia adikmu, kan?)

  2. Meminta persetujuan:
    It’s hot today, isn’t it? (Hari ini panas, ya?)

  3. Memulai percakapan:
    You like music, don’t you? (Kamu suka musik, kan?)
