| Corrected Learner Example | You don't know where I live, do you? (Spain; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2009; Spanish - European; Pass) It differs from the story which you told me, doesn't it? (Japan; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2010; Japanese; Pass) It's fantastic, isn't it? (Italy; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2004; Italian; Pass) It cost £30, it was not too expensive, was it? (Spain; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2008; Spanish - European; Pass) |
| Uncorrected Learner Example | You don't know where I live, do you? (Spain; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2009; Spanish - European; Pass) It differs from the story which you told me, doesn't it? (Japan; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2010; Japanese; Pass) It's fantastic, isn't it? (Italy; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2004; Italian; Pass) It cost £30, it was not too expensive, was it? (Spain; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2008; Spanish - European; Pass) |
| Comments | There is some evidence of the use of tags with be and do only. There are quite a few errors, for example: It isn't expensive don't it? (Turkey; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2008; Turkish; Pass) We will meet at 5:30 pm at my house, can you? (Uruguay; A2 WAYSTAGE; 2008; Spanish - Latin American; Pass) However, we feel that there is a critical mass at this level to say that they have a limited range competency. |
