What is the ‘she’s’?I can’t undertand what 's mean.
Here is the structure of questions tags:
[color=blue]positive main clause → [color=blue]negative question tag
Example:
You are from Canada, [color=blue]aren’t you?
[color=blue]negative main clause → [color=blue]positive question tag
Example:
You aren’t from Canada, [color=blue]are you?
In the sentence you are referrring to the main clause is negative, that’s why the question tag has to be positive:
She’s definitely [color=blue]not coming [color=blue]is she?

thank you for the structure.
Dear Torsten,
You gave us clue as like below :
positive main clause → negative question tag
negative main clause → positive question tag
How about some sentences like this (question tags (2)
A : I want you to give me some more money
B : Oh you do, do you (not negative)
A : I can’t take any more
B : Oh you can’t, can you (all negative)
A : She hates the sight of him
B : She does, does she ( not negative)
etc… thank you
Dear Torsten.
About exercise question tag, I’m confused, because some answers were only positive way:
A-She hates the sight of him.
B-She does, does she? Wouldn’t be: She does, doesn’t she? Would be ?
I’m look forward your answer.
Cheers.
J. Alberto.

Also, when are you going to start capitalizing the personal pronoun ‘I’. I asked you this 10 minutes ago.[YSaerTTEW443543]
TOEIC listening, question-response: What time do you expect Ms. Perkins to return?[YSaerTTEW443543]
“Did you finished” is wrong.
Are you finished or have you finished would be OK.[YSaerTTEW443543]
TOEIC listening, question-response: Would you like to see the dessert menu?[YSaerTTEW443543]
Thank you Torsten.
I will start capitalize the personal pronoun “I” from now on.
Regards, Mageed.
