Решение:

Продолжаем тренировать образование вопросительных тегов. Нужно выбрать правильную форму глагола и местоимение, соответствующее подлежащему.

• 1. The Roman houses were beautiful, weren't they? (Подлежащее 'houses' — множественное число, глагол 'were' — прошедшее время, поэтому тег 'weren't they?').
• 2. We can't play basketball this afternoon, can we? (Отрицание 'can't' в основном предложении, значит, в теге будет утвердительная форма 'can we?').
• 3. Vanessa isn't coming to the picnic, is she? (Отрицание 'isn't' в основном предложении, поэтому в теге 'is she?').
• 4. You couldn't find your homework, could you? (Отрицание 'couldn't' в основном предложении, значит, в теге будет утвердительная форма 'could you?').
• 5. Our geography homework wasn't very difficult, was it? (Отрицание 'wasn't' в основном предложении, поэтому в теге 'was it?').
• 6. Frank's dad is an archaeologist, isn't he? (Глагол 'is' в утвердительной форме, значит, в теге будет отрицательная форма 'isn't he?').

Ответ: 1. weren't they? 2. can we? 3. is she? 4. could you? 5. was it? 6. isn't he?
