Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate question tag:

He will tell us stories in English, ______?

A.

shouldn't he 

B.

won't he

C.

will he

D.

should he

Correct option is B

Explanation:

The correct answer is "won't he."

Question tags are short questions that are added at the end of a statement to confirm or check the information. The tag used here depends on the auxiliary verb in the main sentence.

The main sentence is: "He will tell us stories in English."

The auxiliary verb here is "will".
The correct tag question for "will" is "won't" because when the main sentence has a positive auxiliary verb (here "will"), the tag is negative (i.e., won't). Thus, the question tag becomes "won't he?"

Example:
He will go to the party, won't he?

Information Booster:

Formation of Question Tags:

- Positive statements are followed by negative question tags.
- Negative statements are followed by positive question tags.
- Example of positive statement: "She is coming, isn't she?"
- Example of negative statement: "He isn't coming, is he?"

When the auxiliary verb is 'will':

- For positive sentences: "won't he?"
- For negative sentences: "will he?"

Additional Knowledge:

"shouldn't he" - 
"Should" is not used as the auxiliary verb in the main sentence. The main sentence uses "will", so the correct tag should be "won't he?" and not "shouldn't he."

"will he" -
This option is incorrect because the sentence is positive, and thus the tag should be negative ("won't he"), not positive ("will he").

"should he" -
"should" does not match the auxiliary verb "will" in the main sentence. Therefore, "should he" is incorrect.
