Unit 1: Make Small Talk

Make Small Talk

Tag Questions:

is a short question added at the end of a sentence. It's used to turn a statement into a question, often to seek confirmation or agreement.

Structure: is usually a statement + a tag. The tag is formed with an auxiliary verb from the statement + a pronoun. If the statement is positive, the tag is usually negative, and vice versa.

Examples:

• - You're coming to the party, aren't you?
• - It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
• - She likes pizza, doesn't she?
• - They haven't seen the movie yet, have they?

Past Perfect:

is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action or time.

Structure: is formed with the auxiliary verb "had" + the past participle of the main verb.

Examples:

• - I had already eaten breakfast when she called.
• - They had finished the project before the deadline.
• - She realized she had lost her keys when she arrived home.
• - He had never visited Paris before last summer.
