Question Tags
(1) Question Tags are used to check or clarify information, or simply to involve the listener in a more interactive way.
(2) Question Tags consist of an auxiliary or a modal verb+ subject pronoun. The subject pronoun replays the subject of the main clause and agrees with the number, person and gender.
E.g. (a) Neha is selfish, isn't she?
(b) We had talked about it, hadn't we?
(3) If the main clause contains an auxiliary or modal verb, it is repeated in the tag.
E.g. (a) You have worked hard, haven't you?
(b) He didn't get it, did he?
(4) If there is no auxiliary or modal in the main clause, auxiliary is used.
E.g. (a) Neha lives in Pune, doesn't she?
(b) You found your pen, didn’t you?
Rules: -
(1) If the sentence is negative, then the question tag will be positive.
(2) If the sentence is positive, then the question tag will be negative.
(3) After question tag the question mark is necessary (?)
(4) Rewriting the sentence and then putting the question tags.

Once you’re done, please share your score & feedback. Also share this test with your English teachers, parents & friends. You can always check the performance & publish scores.

Spellings are a torture for native & non-native speakers. Here in India, teachers want us to memorize spellings & pronunciation as well. However, teachers themselves don’t know of an easy way out.
On the top of it, they ask us to break words into smaller chunks & read. If we do that it hampers our pronunciation.
Mom also has this old technique of breaking words into smaller checks & reading. Phonics also doesn’t work. We don’t struggle with individual letter sounds to that extent. Our challenge is memorizing spellings & pronunciation.
Our challenge is how to identify the right pronunciation of words, how to develop automaticity in reading & memorizing spellings.
There is no interest in reading. I hate books because I hate reading.
So, I pretend that I am studying but I don’t.
I don’t because I don’t want to.
I don’t because it’s a torture and nobody understands.
They also pretend! Why do they refer to dictionary every time?
Teachers look up for the right pronunciation in dictionary and ask us to memorize. Why can’t they memorize themselves? And why do they have to refer to dictionary?
I also know that if I don’t read, I won’t learn.
It's their fault as well if they can't help.
It's their fault if they ask me to waste time & memorize spellings & pronunciation.
It's their fault if I don't enjoy reading.
It's their fault if I don't get good scores.
I blame you, if you can’t tell me of the reasons.
I blame you, if you force me to memorize.
I blame you, if I score low.

Role playing exercises:-

Benefits of read my script program:-
Fits perfectly in the definition of peer learning, self paced learning & learn on the go. To encourage learners to get involved is one of the biggest challenges of educators today. Learners can really get involved with read my script program. Words are everywhere. Apart from textbooks, learners come across a lot of words every day. You go out, see messages on signboards and billboards everywhere, the products you use, on television, school buses and notice board as well. Learners can really get engaged if they have the tools to identify the pronunciation of words themselves. They can involve their parents, teachers & peers as well real time.
