Tázací dovětky

Hlavní přehled

Na Landigo se dnes zaměříme na krátké otázky na konci věty – tzv. tázací dovětky (např. ...aren't you? ...do I? ...can't he?).

Tázací dovětky – procvičování:

You are on holiday, aren't you? = Jste na dovolené, že?

You are on holiday, aren't you?
You aren't on holiday, are you?
Jste na dovolené, že?
You are on holiday, aren't you?

Tázací dovětky (question tags) často použijeme, pokud se chceme ujistit, že je něco skutečně pravda. Tázací dovětky odpovídají českému ...že? ...že ano? ...viď? apod.:

Alex is married, isn't he?
Alex je ženatý, že (ano)?
Alex can't cook, can he?
Alex neumí vařit, že (ne)?
Alex was sick, wasn't he?
Alex byl nemocný, viď?

Po kladné větě použijeme záporný dovětek:

He is married, isn't he?
Je ženatý, že?

Po záporné větě použijeme kladný dovětek:

He isn't married, is he?
Není ženatý, že?

Pokud je v hlavní větě I AM, použijeme v dovětku AREN'T I:

V dovětcích používáme osobní zájmena (he, it, they...):

The children were loud, weren't they?

Nikoliv: ...didn't Max?, ...is the TV?, ...weren't the children?

Nicky was hungry, wasn't she? = Nicky měla hlad, že ano?

Nicky was hungry, wasn't Nicky she?

He's married, isn't he?
He is married, is he not?
He can swim, can't he?

Nikoliv: ...is not he?, ...cannot he?
