FALLING AND RISING INTONATION: QUESTION TAGS – PRACTICE

1. Complete the sentences with the correct question tag. Then decide if it requires falling or
rising intonation based on the context.

1. You’ve seen this movie, ______?


2. It’s quite sunny today, ______?
3. She hasn’t arrived yet, ______?
4. They weren’t at the party, ______?
5. We’ll meet after class, ______?

2. Listen to the teacher. Mark whether the question tag has falling or rising intonation.

 You finished your project, didn’t you? ---> ______


 He doesn’t know the answer, does he? ---> ______
 They can come tomorrow, can’t they? ---> ______
 She wasn’t feeling well, was she? ---> ______

3. Practice the dialogue in pairs. Use the appropriate intonation (falling for confirmation,
rising for inquiry).

Student A: You were at the meeting, weren’t you?


Student B: Yes, I was. But you didn’t see me, did you?
Student A: No, I didn’t. It was crowded. We can discuss it now, can’t we?
Student B: Sure, that works.

4. Create 5 sentences with question tags. Assign whether each should have falling or rising
intonation. Practice saying them aloud.

Example:

 You’ve done your homework, haven’t you? (falling)


 You don’t remember his name, do you? (rising)
