Question

Use the correct question tag : Open the window, ____________?

• A. don't you?
• B. will you?
• C. won't you?
• D. do you?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. will you?

• Imperative Sentences: When a sentence is an imperative (a command, request, or order), the question tag typically follows specific patterns depending on the nature of the statement.
• Positive Commands: For a direct positive command like 'Open the window', the tag can be will you, would you, can you, or could you.
• Negative Commands: For a negative imperative (e.g., 'Do not open the window'), the tag is almost always will you.
• Invitations and Polite Requests: If the sentence acts as an invitation or a very polite request, won't you is often used to imply expectation of compliance.
• The 'Let's' Rule: It is important to distinguish these from sentences starting with 'Let's' (Let us), where the question tag is always shall we.
• Grammatical Note: Since 'Open the window' is a direct request, will you is considered the standard and most commonly accepted form in competitive English assessments.
