Explanation:

someone is waiting there.change into question tag​

Answers

Answer:

Someone is waiting there,aren't they?

Answer:

[tex] \large{ \tt{❃ \: EXPLANATION }}: [/tex]

[tex] \large{ \tt{✎ \: \underline{GENERAL\: RULES: }}}[/tex]

There should be comma ( , ) at the end of statement - Eg : Alex is a student , isn't he ?

A tag should begin with small letter - She can't stand it , can she ?

Affirmative statement has a negative tag & viceversa - They don't drink milk , do they ?

The subject will be changed into a pronoun - Emily writes a poem , doesn't she ?

Negative sentences generally have negative words like : no / no , never / seldom / hardly / rarely / barely / scarcely , nobody / noone / none / neither of + plural nouns or pronouns. Note : Here , In above case , tag must be affirmative or positive.

If there is no auxiliary verb like is / am / are / has.. in sentences , follow these rules : V¹= do + V¹V² = did + v¹V⁵ = does + v¹For instance : He lost his book , didn't he ?

- Now Let's see what would the answer be!

[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \large{ \sf{☥ \: Somebody \: is \: waiting \: there \: , \underline{ aren't \: they \: ?}}}}}[/tex]

Note : Here Use “they” in a question tag when the sentence includes ' somebody / someone / Nobody / Noone / Anybody / Anyone / Some / None / Everybody / Everyone / People ' & Since here the pronoun ' they ' is plural , we should use ' aren't '!

Answers

Answer:

I turned onto Elm Street.

The alarm rang at 7:00 a.m.

Rain poured from the sky.

Explanation:

The setting in a story refers to the time and place that an author chose for certain events in his story. The writer can decide to choose a particular time in history or a time frame because the characters perform acts that are applicable to that time period. In the same manner, a geographical location might be chosen because of certain features that apply to the story. In the options above, Elm Street and the sky represent locations or places where an event occurred in a story. The time 7:00 a.m. represents a time when an event in the story happened.
