SSC GD Constable (English) - 23 Jan 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q15

Select the most appropriate alternative to replace the underlined segment in the given sentence.

They met yesterday, haven’t they?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. didn’t they?

  • When the sentence is affirmative, the question tag becomes negative. But the tense of both remains the same.
  • Thus, here the question tag should be written in simple past tense as well.
  • Thus, "didn’t they?" is the correct substitution.
