a) You telephoned four times, didn't you?
Tu as téléphoné quatre fois, n'est-ce pas ?
quand la première partie de la phrase est à la forme affirmative
le tag est à la forme négative (et inversement)
c'est un autre façon de dire :
Did you telephone four times?
• si dans la première partie de la phrase il n'y a pas d'auxiliaire ou de modal
le tag est do ou did
c'est le cas de cette première phrase
• Sinon le tag reprend cet auxiliaire ou ce modal.
c'est le cas de la phrase 2
b) He was very surprised, wasn't he?
c) She wasn't working, was she?

f) There was a lot of traffic, wasn't there?
g) It wasn't raining, was it?
