OFF TO MEET TAMARA, ARE WE?

Where's Miranda?

Miranda, Series 2 Episode 4

BBC Two

Stevie is angry about Miranda having a new friend:
Miranda: Right, I am off to the restaurant.

Stevie: Off to meet Tamara, are we?

Miranda: What do you mean "are we"? I'm just going to meet Tamara for a coffee.

Stevie: Going for a coffee with Tamara, are we?

Remember that sometimes we use an affirmative tag after an affirmative statement to express anger, interest, surprise, and so forth. Once again, intonation is very important here.

You can find different exercises about question tags here, here or here.

Fancy some grammar review?
