Tag questions with "ma"

Nível: HSK 2 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

As well as yes/no questions, you can also form tag questions with 吗 (ma). Tag questions are quick questions that are tagged on the end of a sentence to ask for confirmation. In English, this is often done with "right?" or negatively with "isn't it?" As you can see below, the pattern typically involves words like 好 (hǎo), 对 (duì), 是 (shì), or 可以 (kěyǐ), followed by 吗 (ma). ⋯⋯， 好 / 对 / 是 / 可以 + 吗？ By placing these on the end of a sentence, you can soften a suggestion or request confirmation.
