Sampa:Your English friends call you "Sam" for short, don't they?

Hi Sampa. Great try with tag questions!

Even though you are agreeing you need to say "No".
"No, I'm not a vegetarian." Or you could say, "You're right. I'm not a vegetarian."

Also, you don't need "do" at the beginning. When you are writing, the tag at the end is in the same sentence. Separate it with a comma.:
"You know Mexico, don't you."
Sampa May 12, 2009 18:01

Yes, I not a vegetarian

Jakaria: Do you know Mexico. don't you?

Jakaria, you didn't address your question to anyone so I'll answer it. No, I don't speak Bangoli.

Sampa: You aren't a vegetarian, are you?

Players:
Don't forget the basic format of a tag question:
A positive statement is followed by a negative tag. (You can speak Spanish, can't you?)
A negative statement is followed by a positive tag.(You don't speak Spanish, do you?)
