  What is Tag Question?

  শাব্দিক অর্থে ‘Tag’ বলতে জুড়ে দেওয়া বুজায়। আর Question এর অর্থ “প্রশ্ন”। তাই আমরা বলতে পারি বক্তা তার বক্তব্য সম্পর্কে স্রোতার মত যাচাইয়ের জন্য অনেক সময় বক্তব্যের শেষে যে, ছোট ছোট প্রশ্ন জুড়ে দেয় তাকেই Tag Questions বলে।

  Tag Question গঠন  : Statement এর পর একটি কমা বসবে + সাহায্যকারী verb বসবে + Statement  এর subject এর pronoun বসবে + প্রশ্নবোধক চিহ্ন বসবে।

  যেমন : Ramik is a good student,  isn’t he?
