Dear everyone,
Could someone please help me with the following sentences which I doubt about?
1) I think Eric is willing to help, don’t I?
2) I don’t think Eric is willing to help, do I?
3) I wish to buy a new piano, don’t I?
4) She wishes she can have a new dress, doesn’t she?
According to the relevant basic rules, I would say the above tag questions are correct.
However, sentence nos.1 & 2 seem weird to me somehow. I’m wondering if the tags should be “isn’t he” and “is he” respectively.
As for sentence nos.3 & 4, I was told the tags should be “may I ” and “may she” which I’ve really got no idea whether they are correct.
I’d be grateful if you would get back to me.
Best wishes,
bnplbnpl
