Question

We hadn’t much time to spare, _____ ?

• A. had we
• B. hadn't we
• C. do we
• D. don't we

Answer 1

Answer:

A. had we

"Had" in this context is used as a main verb, indicating possession in the past, not as an auxiliary verb. Therefore, since the main clause "We hadn’t much time to spare" is negative, the tag should be positive: "had we".
