Had better + Tag question #1 (permalink) Wed Jun 22, 2011 22:43 pm   Had better + Tag question
 

Hi there!
I wonder what would it be the correct tag question for this sentence,

"it is about to rain so we'd better take an umbrella, don't we?"

or

"it is about to rain so we'd better take an umbrella, hadn't we?"

Thanks

The 'we'd' is the abbreviated form of 'we had' - so the correct tag would be 'hadn't we'.

We'd better take an umbrella, hadn't we?
