السؤال المذيل في الانجليزية

السؤال المذيل في الانجليزية هو سؤال قصير كثيراُ ما يلحق بأواخر الجمل في الكلاام و أحياناُ في الكتابات الغير فصحي (أو الغير رسمية). يعني هذا السؤال " أليس كذلك؟ " , و أستخدامه شائع في النجليزية.

"Question Tags" are the small questions that often come at the ends of sentences in speech, and sometimes in informal writing. They mean something like: "Am I right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English.

> يصاغ هذا السؤال غالباُ من الفعل المساعد / الناقص حسب زمن الجملة يليه ضمير الفاعل للفاعل في الجملة. و يكون في حالة الجملة المثبته منفياُ و العكس.

The question tag is formed by making a short question of the helping verb (according to the tense ) or the modal in the sentence then the the pronoun of the subject. If the main sentence is positive, then the question tag must be negative. If the main sentence is negative, then the question tag must be positive.

Examples : -
Modal: They should go, shouldn’t they?
be: We are going soon, aren’t we?
have: Joan has fi nished the job, hasn’t she?
Present: You are taking notes, aren’t you?
Past: You were taking notes, weren’t you?
Ahmad can swin, can't he?
You cannot play the piano, can you ?
He'd left early, hadn't he?
It's stopped raining, hasn't it?
You like apple, don't you?
The meeting is at ten, isn't it?
هنا السؤال أتي به is رغم أن الزمن هو المضارع البسيط
Shady gave you the money, didn't he?

Notice the meaning of yes yes and no in answer to a negative sentence : -
You aren't going out today, are you?
Yes (yes, I'm going out)
No (No, I'm not going out.)

> يستخدم السؤال المذيل لغرضين هما تأكيد صحة الكلام أو طلب موافقة الشخص المخاطب , و يستخدم كذلك في الطلب و الأمر لطلب من شخص أن يفعل شئ (الطلب بأدب)

We use question tags to check information orask for agreement. In requests an imperatives, we use questin tags to ask some one to do something politely
You couldn't lend me a pound, could you?
come in, won't you?

>حالات خاصة في السؤال المذيل Some special cases : ـ

1 - الفعل have يعتبر فعل أساسي إذا جاء في المضارع البسيط في اللهجة الأمريكية, و لذلك يستخدم do في السؤال المذيل. بينما يعتبر فعل مساعد في هذه الحالة ( الفعل الاساسي في الجملة) و يستخدم have في السؤال المذيل

Have in American English is like any other main verb; it obliges us to
use do in the question tag. In British English, main verb have is just like helping verb have.
American : They have a problem with that, don’t they?
British : They have a problem with that, haven’t they?

2 - الكلمات النافية negative words : -ـ
يستخدم سؤال مثبت بعد الجمل التي يأتي بها كلمات نفي مثل; never, no, nobody, hardly, scarcely and little

Non-negative tags are used after sentences containing negative words like; never, no, nobody, hardly, scarcely and little
Examples : -
You never say what you are thinking, do you? (not; don't you)
There is little we can do about it, is there?

2 - لاحظ تكوين السؤال المذيل في هذه الجمل : -

- I'm right, aren't I (= am I not)? - not(
Open the door, won't you? (especially in british

)
تستدم won't you مع الأمر خاصة في اللهجة البريطابية لجعله أكثر أدباُ
و لكن بعد الأمر المنفي نستخدم will you?

Do not forget, will you?

- و يمكن أستخدام will/would/can/could you? للطلب بأدب

will/would/can/could you? can also be used for polite request
Give me a hand, will you?
Open a window, could you?

- تستخدم can't you للتعبير عن نفاذ الصبر (طفح الكيل)

Can't you express imatiance
Shut up, can't you?

- Let's have a party, shall we?

3 -الاسألة التي لا تخالف حال الجملة Same way tags

إذا كان السؤال المذيل ياتي في جملة تكون تأكيد لكلام ذكر من قبل, لا نقلب الأثبات نفي و العكس

If the speaker repeats what has been said before, the tag is used to express surprire, interest, concern or some other reaction

So, you are etting married, are you? what nice!
Yuo think you are the smartest ne here, don't you

?

- يمكن هنا أيضا أقتراح شئ ثم أتباعه بالسؤال المذيل لمعرفة ما إذا كان الأقتراح أو التخمين صحيح

We use the main sentense to make a guess, an then ask (in the tag) if it was correct.
You father is at home, is he?
That's the last bus, is it?

There is still a point about intonation which is to be added soon, but I'm tired now
