Question

I am late, _____________?

• A. am I?
• B. aren’t I?
• C. I am?
• D. amn’t I?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. aren’t I?

• Statement: I am late (affirmative)

• Tag: should be negative

In standard English, the negative tag for “I am” is “aren’t I?”

❌ am I? → wrong polarity
❌ I am? → not a tag question
❌ amn’t I? → non-standard (used only in some dialects)
