Answer 1

They’re not from Canada, ARE THEY?
Для того, чтобы определить "хвостик" вопроса, необходимо найти основу предложения. В данном случае, основа будет they are not. Теперь пишем "хвостик", сначала глагол. Если в основе предложения глагол в отрицательной форме (как в нашем случае), то в хвостике он будет утвердительный - are (если бы он был утвердительный, то в хвостике - отрицательный) и теперь добавляем местоимение, в данном случае They

Answer 2

The correct question tag for the statement "They're not from Canada" is "aren't they?" (Option 1).

A question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement to confirm or seek agreement. It usually consists of an auxiliary verb and a pronoun that matches the subject of the statement. In this case, the subject is "they," which is plural, so we use the plural form of the auxiliary verb "are." Therefore, the correct question tag is "aren't they?".

Here's the breakdown of the options and why they are incorrect:

1) aren't they? - This is the correct question tag because it uses the plural form of the auxiliary verb "are" to match the subject "they."

2) isn't it? - This question tag uses the singular form of the auxiliary verb "is," which does not match the plural subject "they."

3) are we? - This question tag uses the plural form of the auxiliary verb "are," but it does not match the subject "they." Instead, it refers to the speaker and others.

4) are they? - This question tag uses the correct auxiliary verb "are," but it does not form a question. It simply repeats the statement.

5) they are? - This option is not a question tag. It is a statement that repeats the original statement.

To summarize, the correct question tag for the statement "They're not from Canada" is "aren't they?" (Option 1).
