English Complex Object Clauses with Tag Questions: A Guide

Tag questions are formed by adding a short question to the end of a statement. This question is usually the opposite of the statement. With complex object clauses, the tag question refers to the main verb of the clause, not the verb in the object clause.

Formation:

• Affirmative statement + Negative tag question
• Negative statement + Affirmative tag question

Examples:

• Affirmative statement: I believe that he's coming.

• Negative tag question: Isn't he coming?

• Negative statement: She doesn't think that they will win.

• Affirmative tag question: Do they win?
