Hello Kitosdad,

It seems that Misskhan was confused about the answers that are given as being "correct" in this test (the test under discussion in this thread):
http://www.english-test.net/esl/learn/english/grammar/ei036/esl-test.php#one

Her "correct answers" were taken from the "correct answers" provided for questions #4 and #7.

I agree with your corrections, Kitosdad. For me, both question 4 and question 7 fall into the first category of tag questions that Alan described earlier in this thread. In that category, Alan mentioned this:

Hello,Alan.

I didn't know this kind of tag questions. It was difficult to me to answer that. I knew the tags where you use the sentence in negative or affirmative and the tag at the contrary. Why you use two kind of tag questions in negative and affirmative at the same time? I don´t understand.

Bye.
