Tag Questions

Tag questions are questions that are added at the end of a sentence.
--Mary is here, isn't she?
--You like beer, don't you?
--They are leaving, aren't they?
--She doesn't drink coffee, does she?
--He has brown hair, doesn't he?
The subject of the tag question should be the same as the subject of the main verb. If the first part of the sentence is in the affirmative, then the tag question will be negative, and vice versa.

FIRST PART OF SENTENCE:	TAG QUESTION:
affirmative	negative
negative	affirmative

In American English, a form of do is usually used when have is the main verb: They have change, don't they?

Imperatives (The Command Form)

It is simple to use the imperative or command form in English. When a command is directed at someone else, use the you form of the simple present tense:

--You take the elevator.
-->Take the elevator.

(Simply drop the subject you.)

If the command includes you and others, use the we form:

--We take our luggage.
-->Let's take the luggage.

(Drop the subject we and add let's [let us].)

Possessives:
To indicate possession in English, you will use either the preposition of or the -'s form. The latter is used much more frequently in informal English.
--This is the office of the attorney.
-->This is the attorney's office.
--Here is the desk of Mr. Young.
-->Here is Mr. Young's desk.
--I know the family of Mrs. Jones.
-->I know Mrs. Jones's family.

Note the change in word order when the -'s form is used. The owner is listed first, followed by the thing owned.
