Everybody is happy, ____?

Ais they

Bare they

Cisn’t they

Daren’t they

Answer:

D. aren’t they

Read Explanation:

  • Since the main sentence is positive ("Everybody is happy"), we use the negative form in the question tag ("aren't they?") / ചോദ്യം പോസിറ്റീവ് ആയതിനാൽ tag നെഗറ്റീവ് ആയിരിക്കണം
  • Everybody, everyone , no one, no body are singular. So we use a singular verb and singular pronoun with them. But in the question tag a plural verb and a plural pronoun will be used.
  • In question tags, we often use the opposite form for questions. So, since the main sentence is positive ("Everybody is happy"), we use the negative question tag, which inverts the verb and uses "they" to refer to the group:
    • Main Sentence: Everybody is happy.
    • Question Tag: ... aren't they?
  • "isn't they" എന്ന് ഉപയോഗിക്കുകയാണെങ്കിൽ, അത് വ്യാകരണപരമായി തെറ്റായിരിക്കും, കാരണം "isn't" എന്നത് ഏകവചനത്തിനും "they" ബഹുവചനവുമാണ്. "They" എന്നതിന്റെ ബഹുവചന സ്വഭാവവുമായി പൊരുത്തപ്പെടുന്നതിനാൽ "aren't" എന്നതാണ് ശരിയായ ഉത്തരം.
