Question Tags:
We often use question tags to show surprise and disbelief:
NOTE: If we want to express surprise or annoyance, we can use a positive question tag with a positive sentence.
You didn’t really go there, did you? It’s an awful place, isn’t it?
It’s snowing, is it? We’d better dress warmly, hadn’t we!
Add question tags to either both or one of the following sentences, and then practice saying them with the correct intonation:
1. He was loitering outside the cinema. He wouldn’t be there now.
2. He acquired a new Porsche. He couldn’t have got the money legally.
3. You caught a glimpse of her wedding dress. It’s beautiful.
4. The prices have soared. That’s outrageous.
5. That’s a striking hat. It must have cost a fortune.
6. He’s impecunious. He doesn’t look it.
7. You aren’t eligible for the prize. You’re too old.
8. His behavior is getting out of hand. Well, do something about it!

Now watch the clip from YouTube and answer the following questions:
a) What two designer labels does Michael McIntyre mention?
b) How does he describe designer labels?
c) What message do people who wear designer labels try to send (according to McIntyre)?
d) Instead of wearing such labels, what does McIntyre suggest people wear?
b) How does he describe designer labels?
c) What message do people who wear designer labels try to send (according to McIntyre)?
d) Instead of wearing such labels, what does McIntyre suggest people wear?
Listen to for the second time and fill in the gaps:
I don’t like designer labels. It’s a _1_.
People wear _2_ clothes to say ‘Look at me. I can afford this. Look I have got a little _3_. You don’t have that, do you? I notice you have no _4_on your clothes. I have a little crocodile. Sometimes I have a little man playing _5_cause I can _6_ that little man. Sometimes, cause I’m _7_, the _8_ plays_9_, yes.’
I think it’s a nonsense. I think that people should just wear T-shirts with a _10_ on the front of a recent _11_. That would sort things out wouldn’t it?
Look at that, three _12_. Not to mention my _13_.’
