CÂU HỎI LÁI ĐI –TAG-QUESTION:
Câu hỏi đi (Tag Question) là một dạng câu hỏi rất hay được sử dụng trong tiếng Anh đặc
biệt là trong tiếng anh giao tiếp, dạng một câu hỏi ngắn đằng sau một câu trần thuật. Câu trả
lời dạng YES/NO nhưng mang sắc thái ý nghĩa khác nhau.
Ex: They are student, aren’t they?
Có một chú ý là nếu người hỏi xuống giọng ở cuối câu hỏi thì thực sự họ không muốn hỏi
mà là đang trông chờ người ta đồng ý với điều mình nói. Khi lên giọng ở cuối câu hỏi thì mới
là một câu hỏi thật sự và bạn muốn nhận được câu trả lời.
Cấu trúc:

Với TO BE:
- He is handsome, isn’t he? = Anh ấy đẹp trai, đúng không?
- You are worried, aren’t you? = Bạn đang lo lắng, phải không?
- He was friendly, wasn’t he?
- Peter isn’t here, is he?
- You weren’t at home yesterday, were you?
Đối với động từ thường (ordinary verbs)
Câu giới thiệu khẳng định, phần hỏi đuôi phủ định.
[S + V(s/es/ed/2)….., don’t/doesn’t/didn’t + S?]
Câu giới thiệu phủ định, phần hỏi đuôi khẳng định
[S + don’t/ doesn’t/didn’t + V….., do/does/did + S?]
Hiện tại đơn động từ thường: mượn trợ động từ DO hoặc DOES tùy theo chủ ngữ cịn Thì
q khứ đơn với động từ thường: mượn trợ động từ DID
- They like me, don’t they?
- She loves you, doesn’t she?
- She doesn’t like folk music, does she?
- Nam didn’t go out last night, did he?
17


-He came here 2 days ago, didn’t he?
Thì HTHT hoặc hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn: mượn trợ động từ HAVE hoặc HAS
- They have left, haven’t they?
- The rain has stopped, hasn’t it?
Thì QKHT hoặc q khứ hồn thành tiếp diễn: mượn trợ động từ HAD:
- He hadn’t met you before, had he?
Thì tương lai đơn: - It will rain, won’t it?
Hãy chú ý tới ý nghĩa của “yes và no” trong câu trả lời đối với câu hỏi phủ định:
You’re not going out today, are you? (Hôm nay bạn không đi chơi phải không?)
Yes. (=Yes, I am going out) Có. (=Có, tơi có đi chơi)

No. (=No, I am not going out) Không. (=Không, tôi không đi chơi)
Đối với động từ khiếm khuyết
Câu giới thiệu khẳng định, phần hỏi đuôi phủ định.
S + can/ could…………., can / could + not + S?
Ex:
– He can speak English, can’t he?
Lan will go to Hue next week, won’t she?
Câu giới thiệu phủ định, phần hỏi đuôi khẳng định
S + can / could + not…………., can / could + S?
Ex:
– He can’t speak English, can he?
- Lan won’t go to Hue next week, will she?
-I ought to have heard by now, oughtn’t I?
MỘT SỐ TRƯỜNG HỢP ĐẶC BIỆT CỦA CÂU HỎI LÁI ĐUÔI –TAG-QUESTIONS:
- Câu giới thiệu dùng “I am”, câu hỏi đuôi là “aren’t I”
Ex: I am a student, aren’t I
- Câu giới thiệu dùng “Let’s + V…” , câu hỏi đuôi là “Shall we”
Ex: Let’s go for a picnic, shall we?
- Chủ ngữ là những đại từ bất định “Everyone, someone, anyone, no one, nobody,
all…” câu hỏi đuôi là “they”
Ex: - Somebody wanted a drink, didn’t they?
- Nobody phoned, did they?
- All can’t speak at a time, can they?
- Everyone cheered wildly, didn’t he (formal)/ didn’t they (informal)?
- Chủ ngữ là “everything, anything, something, nothing” thì câu hỏi đi dùng “it”.
Và Nothing là chủ ngữ có nghĩa là mệnh đề giới thiệu đang ở dạng phủ định, câu hỏi
đuôi sẽ ở dạng khẳng định.
Ex: - Nothing can happen, can it?
- Nothing is done for you, is it?
- Trong câu có các trạng từ phủ định và bán phủ định như: never, seldom, hardly,

scarcely, little, few… thì câu đó được xem như là câu phủ định – phần hỏi đuôi sẽ ở
dạng khẳng định
Ex: - He seldom drinks wine, does he?
- He went nowhere else, did he?
- They did nothing, did they?
- You have never in the house, is there?
18


- Very little progress has been made, has it?
- A little progress has been made, hasn’t it? ( câu này nghĩa khẳng định=> lái đuôi PD)
- Few people knew the answer, did they?
- A few people knew the answer, didn’t they?( câu này nghĩa khẳng định=> lái đuôi PD)
- Câu đầu có It seems that + mệnh đề, lấy mệnh đề làm câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: It seems that you are right, aren’t you?
– Chủ từ là mệnh đề danh từ dùng “it” trong câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: What you have said is wrong, isn’t it?
Why he killed himself seems a secret, doesn’t it?
- Sau câu mệnh lệnh cách (Do…/Don’t do v.v… ), câu hỏi đuôi thường là … will you?:
Ex: - Open the door, will you?
- Don’t be late, will you?
- Câu đầu là I WISH, dùng MAY trong câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: I wish to study English, may I?
– Chủ từ là ONE, dùng you hoặc one trong câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: One can be one’s master, can’t you/one?
– Câu đầu có MUST, must có nhiều cách dùng cho nên tùy theo cách dùng mà sẽ có câu
hỏi đi khác nhau
Must chỉ sự cần thiết: => dùng needn’t
Ex: They must study hard, needn’t they?
Must chỉ sự cấm đoán: => dùng must

Ex: You mustn’t come late, must you?
Must chỉ sự dự đoán ở hiện tại: => dựa vào động từ theo sau must
Ex: He must be a very intelligent student, isn’t he? ( anh ta ắt hẳn là 1 học sinh rất thông
minh, phải khơng ?)
Must chỉ sự dự đốn ở q khứ
[S + must +have+ p.p => dùng là have/has]
Ex: You must have stolen my bike, haven’t you? ( bạn chắc hẵn là đã lấy cắp xe của tôi, phải
không?)
- Câu cảm thán, lấy danh từ trong câu đổi thành đại từ, dùng is, am, are
Ex: - What a beautiful dress, isn’t it?
- How intelligent you are, aren’t you?
- Câu đầu có I + các động từ sau: think, believe, suppose, figure (được nhắc đến, suy
nghĩ), assume (thừa nhận, giả sử), fancy (tưởng tượng, cho rằng, muốn, thích), imagine
(ngỡ rằng, tưởng tượng), reckon (cho là, tính tốn, nghĩ là), expect, seem, feel + mệnh
đề phụ, lấy mệnh đề phụ làm câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: - I think he will come here, won’t he?
- I don’t believe Mary can do it, can she?
( lưu ý MĐ chính có not thì vẫn tính như ở MĐ phụ)
- I think she can’t do that, can she?
Cùng mẫu này nhưng nếu chủ từ không phải là I thì lại dùng mệnh đề đầu làm câu hỏi đi.
Ex: She thinks he will come, doesn’t she?

19


- USED TO: từng (diễn tả thói quen, hành động thường lập đi lập lại trong quá
khứ).
Trường hợp này, ta cứ việc xem USED TO là một động từ chia ở thì q khứ. Do đó, câu hỏi
đi tương ứng chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ DID
Ex: She used to live here, didn’t she?

– Had better: “had better” thường được viết ngắn gọn thành ‘D BETTER, nên dễ khiến ta
lúng túng khi phải lập câu hỏi đuôi tương ứng. Khi thấy ‘D BETTER, chỉ cần mượn trợ động
từ HAD để lập câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: He’d better stay, hadn’t he?
– WOULD RATHER: Would rather thường được viết gọn là ‘D RATHER nên cũng dễ
gây lúng túng cho bạn. Chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ WOULD cho trường hợp này để lập câu
hỏi đuôi.
Ex: You’d rather go, wouldn’t you?

Topic 5 : Conditional Sentences & Wish sentences.
CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN (CONDITIONALS)
I- Mấy lưu ý về câu điều kiện:
Câu điều kiện gồm có hai phần: Một phần nêu lên điều kiện và một phần còn lại nêu lên kết
quả hay được gọi là mệnh đề chỉ điều kiện và mệnh đề chỉ kết quả.
Ví dụ: If it rains, I will stay at home.
You will pass the exam if you work hard.
v Hai mệnh đề trong câu điều kiện có thể đổi chỗ được cho nhau
Ví dụ: You will pass the exam if you work hard.
II- Các loại câu điều kiện:
Type 1: Điều kiện có thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai.
Ví dụ: If I have enough money, I will buy a new car.
(Simple present + simple Future)
Type 2: Điều kiện không thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai -ước muốn ở hiện tại.
(Nhưng thực tế khổng thể xảy ra được).
Ví dụ: If I had millions of US dollars now, I would give you a half.
( I have some money only now)
If I were the president, I would build more hospitals.

(Simple present + future Future (would))
Chú ý: Ở câu điều kiện loại 2 (Type 2), trong vế "IF", to be của các ngôi chia giống nhau và
là từ "were", chứ không phải "was".
Type 3: Điều kiện không thể xảy ra trong quá khứ - mang tính ước muốn trong quá khứ.
(nhưng thực tế khổng thể xảy ra được).
Ví dụ: If they had had enough money, they would have bought that villa.
[Past Perfect + Perfect Conditional]
If we had found him earlier, we might/could saved his life.
Type 4: Câu điều kiện Hỗn hợp:
Trong tiếng Anh có nhiều cách khác nhau được dùng diễn tả điều kiện trong mệnh đề chỉ điều
kiện với "If". Ngồi 3 loại chính nêu trên, một số loại sau cũng được sử dụng trong giao tiếp
và ngơn ngữ viết:
1- Type 3 + Type 2:
Ví dụ: If he worked harder at school, he would be a student now.
(He is not a student now)
If I had taken his advice, I would be rich now.
Câu điều kiện ở dạng đảo.
- Trong tiếng Anh câu điều kiện loại 2/3, Type 2 và Type 3 thường được dùng ở dạng đảo.
Ví dụ: Were I the president, I would build more hospitals.
Had I taken his advice, I would be rich now.
If not = Unless.
- Unless cũng thường được dùng trong câu điều kiện - lúc đó Unless = If not.
Ví dụ: Unless we start at once, we will be late.
If we don't start at once we will be late.
Unless you study hard, you won't pass the exams.
If you don't study hard, you won't pass the exams.

If he did not help me, I would not finish my homework.

= Unless he helped me, I would not finish my homework. (Trừ phi anh ấy giúp đỡ tơi, cịn
khơng thì tơi sẽ chẳng thể hồn thành bài tập)
b. BUT FOR: = Without (nếu khơng có)
But for/ Without + N, điều kiện loại 2 hoặc 3.
Ex: - He helps me everyday so I can finish my homework.
=> But for/ Without his daily help, I would not finish my homework
(ko có sự giúp đỡ mỗi ngày của anh ấy, thì tơi chẳng thể hoàn thành bài tập về nhà)
- teacher explained and we understood
=> But for /Without teacher's explanation, we would not have understood.
(Nếu khơng có sự giảng giải của giáo viên thì chúng tơi đã chẳng thể hiểu nổi)
 CÁCH CHUYỂN TỪ CÂU THƯỜNG SANG CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN:
- Nếu câu đề là : tưong lai - tương lai thì dùng loại 1 (không phản nghĩa )
- [ S + will/ can + V…, S + will/ can + V …]
=> If + S + V(s, es) …., S + will/ can + V…
VD: - I will go to VT. I will buy you a present.
=>If I go to VT, I will buy you a present.
- Nếu câu đề là : Don’t + V…….or + mệnh đề thì viết lại là := If you V ( viết lại hết ,bỏ or )
VD: - Don’t go out or you will get wet.
=> if you go out, you will get wet.
- Nếu câu đề là: V …….or + mệnh đề thì viết lại là : If you don’t + V ( viết lại hết ,bỏ or )
VD: - Raise your hand or I will kill you.
=> If you don’t raise your hand, I will kill you.
- Nếu câu đề là hiện tại - hiện tại / tương lai thì dùng loại 2 + phản nghĩa .
- [ S + V(s, es) …, S + will/ can + V …]
=> If + S + didn’t + V…., S + wouldn’t/ couldn’t + V…
+ It is rainy. I can't go to school.
=> If it weren't rainy, I could go to school.
Lưu ý :
Nếu trong câu có because , so (= that’s why) thì phải bỏ ( đặt if vào chổ because ,
còn so (= that’s why) thì ngược lại )

Cách biến đổi từ câu thường sang câu điều kiện 2:
Vế điều kiện:
- is/ am/ are => weren’t
- is/ am/ are + not => were
- V(s, es)
=> didn’t + V
- don’t/ doesn’t + V => Vp
- Vp => hadn’t + Vpp
- didn’t + V => had+ Vpp
- was/ were => hadn’t been
- was/ were + not => had been
- can => couldn’t

Vế chính
- is/ am /are => wouldn’t be
- is/ am /are + not => would be
- V(s, es)
=> wouldn’t + V
- don’t/ doesn’t + V => would + V
- Vp => wouldn’t + have + Vpp
- didn’t + V => would have+ Vpp
- was/ were => wouldn’t + have been
- was/ were + not => would + have been
- can => couldn’t
