Time and tide wait for none,---?

Updated: 1 year ago
উত্তরঃ do they

Tag questions are short questions added to the end of a statement. They are used to confirm information or to invite a response. When the main statement is negative, as in "Time and tide wait for none" (the word "none" makes the statement negative), the tag question must be positive. For statements in the simple present tense without an explicit auxiliary verb, 'do' or 'does' is used in the tag.

In the given statement, "Time and tide" is often treated as a plural subject grammatically, hence the plural verb "wait". Therefore, the auxiliary 'do' is used, and 'they' serves as the pronoun representing "Time and tide" in the tag question.

উত্তরঃ don't we?

A tag question is a short question added to the end of a statement to ask for confirmation or agreement. The general rule for forming tag questions is to use an auxiliary verb and a pronoun. If the main statement is positive, the tag question is negative, and if the statement is negative, the tag question is positive. In the statement "Unfortunately, many of us waste our time," the subject "many of us" refers to "we," and the verb "waste" is in the simple present tense. Since the statement is grammatically positive, the negative tag question "don't we?" is used.

উত্তরঃ can they?

A tag question is a short question at the end of a statement. It is used to confirm something or to invite agreement.

In the given statement, "None can prosper in life without utilizing time properly," the subject "None" makes the statement negative in meaning. When the main statement is negative or contains a negative word (like none, no one, nobody, hardly, scarcely, never, etc.), the tag question must be positive.

For subjects like "none," "no one," or "nobody," the pronoun used in the tag question is "they."

The auxiliary verb in the main statement is "can," so it is used in the tag question as well.

Therefore, combining these rules, the correct tag question is "can they?".

উত্তরঃ shouldn't they?

A tag question is a short question added to the end of a statement. It is used to confirm information or to invite a response from the listener.

To form a tag question, we generally use the auxiliary verb from the main statement and a pronoun that matches the subject of the statement. If the main statement is positive, the tag question is negative, and if the statement is negative, the tag is positive.

In the given statement, "So, everybody should realize this truth," the auxiliary verb is "should." The statement is positive. The subject is "everybody," which is an indefinite pronoun. When indefinite pronouns like "everybody," "everyone," "somebody," "someone," "nobody," "no one," etc., act as the subject, the pronoun used in the tag question is "they."

Therefore, the negative tag for "should" with the pronoun "they" becomes "shouldn't they?"

উত্তরঃ shall we

A tag question is a short question added to the end of a statement. It is used to ask for confirmation or to engage the listener. For sentences that begin with "Let's", which express a suggestion or an invitation involving the speaker and listener, the standard tag question used is "shall we?". This is a fixed rule in English grammar, as "Let's" is a contraction of "Let us", and "shall" is used with "we" to propose an action or make a suggestion.
