Question Tags in Non-Final Position Overview Question tags typically follow the main clause, but they can interrupt the clause, particularly in sentences with anticipatory " it ". Examples of Interruptions Example 1: It’s strange, isn’t it , that she would choose that option? Example 2: It was likely your group, wasn’t it , that attended the meeting? Example 3: It’s clear, isn’t it , what they decided about the project? Reporting Structures In reporting structures, question tags may appear before the reported clause, especially if the clause is lengthy. This positioning can indicate a shared perspective with the listener. Example in Context Context: [Discussing the techniques of a renowned chef] You always realise , don’t you , that whatever you prepare will be delicious, and well-balanced, and that it will impress everyone too?
