tag question

I am irregular but my friend is regular what is the tag question of it?

Re: tag question

Hi Toki,

I would say/write it as two separate sentences:

I am irregular, aren't I? But my friend is regular, isn't he/she?

But you could separate them with a semi-colon:

I am irregular, aren't I?; but my friend is regular, isn't he/she?

Re: tag question

my teacher told that when there is a but in sentence the sub before the but would be the sub of tag.is it r8??

Re: tag question

Please don't use abbreviations like "r8". It is not good grammar.

Re: tag question

please!

Re: tag question

Yes: that's correct, but remember that the subject of the tag may take the form of a pronoun referring back to the subject of the main clause:

Your friends made a good job of it, didn't they?

In that example, "your friends" (sub of main clause) and "they" (sub of tag) are the same people.
