Da bi se napravio upitni izraz koji odgovara izrazu zar ne, u srpskom jeziku, u engleskom koristimo pomoćne i nepotpune glagole. Ukoliko je rečenica potvrdna, nakon nje se koristi upitno-odrični oblik pomoćnog glagola:

• You have finished your homework, haven't you? - Završio si domaći zadatak, zar ne?
• She's working in the garden, isn't she? - Ona radi u bašti, zar ne?
• Sanja goes to school, doesn't she? - Sanja ide u školu, zar ne?
• There is a fridge in your kitchen, isn't there? - U tvojoj kuhinji se nalazi frižider, zar ne?
• Martha bought a lovely dress yesterday, didn't she? - Marta je juče kupila divnu haljinu, zar ne?
• He was out when she came, wasn't he? - On je bio napolju kada je ona došla, zar ne?

Ukoliko je rečenica odrična, koristi se upitni oblik pomoćnog glagola.

• Marko didn't buy the car, did he? - Marko nije kupio auto, zar ne?
• Sandra isn't a student, is she? - Sandra nije student, zar ne?
• Stefan doesn't speak English, does he? - Stefan ne govori engleski, zar ne?
• Milica won't come tomorrow, will she? - Milica neće doći sutra, zar ne?
• I`m not good at singing, am I? - Nisam dobra u pevanju, zar ne?

Upitna reč iza I am glasi aren't I.

• I'm new here, aren't I? - Ja sam nov ovde, zar ne?

Iza imperativa, upitni izraz (Question Tag) glasi will you i nešto drugačije se prevodi na srpski jezik.

• Open the window, will you? - Otvori prozor, hoćeš li?
• Don't speak so loud, will you? - Nemoj govoriti tako glasno, hoćeš li?

Upitni izraz (Question Tag) nakon Let's (Let us) glasi shall we.

• Let's go to the theatre tonight, shall we? - Hajdemo večeras u pozorište, hoćemo li?
• Let's start, shall we? - Hajde da počnemo, hoćemo li?
