Subyek QT berasal
dari subyek kalimat di depannya.

harus dalam bentuk pronoun, yaitu:
I, You, We, They, He, She, It.
Tag pronoun untuk this/that = it
Tag pronoun untuk these/those =
they
Tag pronoun untuk subyek Everyone,
Everybody, Someone, Somebody, No one, dan Nobodyadalah They.
Tag pronoun untuk Everything,
Something, and Nothing adalah It.
Kalimat dengan there + be,
maka there digunakan dalam tag.
Jika kalimat menggunakan “I am …..
“(kalimat positif), maka tag-nya harus aren’t I.
