Tag questions Grammar
Posted: Mon May 09, 2016 3:03 pm
Hi everyone,
Have started teaching general English in a company.
A manager that lived in Ireland asked me can we use "amn't I" as a tag question or in questions in general.
Example: Tag question, I'm clever, amn't I ?
or in general 'Amn't I coming with you tonight?
The negative is "I am not" so....?
I know from being Irish that we use this format but it's more colloquial.
It's not proper English, can't find any examples of it anywhere!!
What do you think, it's simple but got my mine working!!
