What is a Tag Question?

As WA affiliates we use tag questions when we write our content especially if we are going to engage our audience.

Using tag questions is the most appropriate way to engage with people when you are trying to get them to see your point of view on products, services, or even in promoting WA.

The definition of a Tag Questions is: Tag questions (or question tags) turn a statement into a question. They are often used for checking information that we think we know is true.

Usually if the main clause is positive, the question tag is negative, and if the main clause is negative, the tag is positive. For example: It's cold (positive), isn't it (negative)?

Want to make a point with someone the best way is to use a tag question having them see that you are only giving them facts.

When is the Best Time To Use Tag Questions

I usually wait until I hit the third heading of my content even though sometimes I will use this to begin a post making people wonder what it is I am getting at.

One of the common functions is to start a conversation or help keep it going. The two basic rules about tag questions are: If the statement is negative, the tag must be positive. If the statement is positive the tag must be negative.

Engagement with people who are reading your posts this keep them more involved in what you have to say and makes them feel important helping them bond with you and trust you.

Trust is what we always want with our audience then they will have the tendency to refer others to our websites and increase our traffic flow.

We add question tags to the end of statements to turn them into questions. They are used in spoken language, especially when we want to check something is true, or invite people to agree with us.

We add a clause in the form of a question at the end of a sentence. Therefore, engaging them making them feel important we want their opinion.

How do you feel when people turn to you for advice and ask your opinion? Makes you feel really good (important enough that someone cares what you think).

The same applies to visitors of our websites as the owners it is up to us to engage and make our readers feel important they matter their opinions also count.

Do You Use Tag Questions?

This was just a short blog post to find out how many of you use tag questions when you are writing your content?

It is an interesting concept and I believe that this can help some of us with learning how to write better content creating opportunities for participation with readers.

Letting readers know that we want them to participate in what we have to say and that the rewards we are offering them with the products, services, or information are what they are looking for.

Please remember to always acknowledge and thank them for coming to your website letting them know they are the ones that do influence the work that we do for them.
