Grammar Focus 핵심 정리
1. Positive sentence, negative tag 긍정문에는 부정 꼬리
It's cold, isn't it? / You like coffee, don't you? It's like "right?" at the end.
It's cold, isn't it? / You like coffee, don't you? 긍정문 뒤에는 부정형 꼬리를 붙입니다. 한국어의 '~죠?', '그렇죠?'와 비슷한 느낌이에요.
2. Negative sentence, positive tag 부정문에는 긍정 꼬리
You aren't busy, are you? / She didn't call, did she? Match the helper verb and use a pronoun for the subject.
You aren't busy, are you? / She didn't call, did she? 부정문 뒤에는 긍정형 꼬리를 붙입니다. 꼬리의 be동사나 조동사는 앞 문장에 맞추고, 주어는 대명사로 바꿉니다.
3. Your intonation changes the meaning 억양에 따라 달라지는 뜻
Falling intonation invites agreement. Rising intonation asks a real question. In conversation, people also just say "right?"
끝을 내리면 '그렇죠?' 하고 동의를 구하는 느낌이고, 끝을 올리면 정말 몰라서 묻는 느낌이에요. 대화에서는 간단히 right?라고도 자주 해요.

Practice 빈칸 채우기
- You're Canadian, ?Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is a) aren't you 정답은 a) aren't you입니다.It's a positive sentence with "be" ("are"), so the tag is "aren't you".be동사(are)를 쓴 긍정문이므로 aren't you가 맞습니다.
- She doesn't drink coffee, ?Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is b) does she 정답은 b) does she입니다.The sentence is negative, so the tag is positive: "does she".부정문 뒤에는 긍정 꼬리를 붙이므로 does she가 맞습니다.
- They went to Jeju, ?Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is a) didn't they 정답은 a) didn't they입니다."Went" is a past main verb, so the tag uses "did": "didn't they".went는 과거 일반동사이므로 didn't they가 맞습니다.
- You can't come tonight, ?Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is b) can you 정답은 b) can you입니다.The sentence is negative ("can't"), so the tag is positive: "can you".can't가 있는 부정문이므로 긍정 꼬리 can you가 맞습니다.
