Identify the correct tag.Nobody informed you, _?
Correct answer: A. Did they
- A. Did they
- B. Didn't they
- C. Do they
- D. Doesn't they
Explanation
The correct tag is "Did they?" because with negative subjects like nobody, the tag must be positive. Since the main clause is in the past tense (informed), the matching auxiliary is did. So the correct sentence is: "Nobody informed you, did they?"
