You have a lot of coconut trees in your village, [do you?]
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'have you?' में 'have' दोहराया गया है, जो helping verb जैसा प्रतीत होता है। परंतु कथन positive है, अतः tag negative होना चाहिए, और main verb (मुख्य क्रिया) 'have' 'do' लेता है, अर्थात "don't you?"।'have you?' repeats 'have', which looks like the helping verb. But the statement is positive, so the tag must be negative, and 'have' as a main verb takes 'do', giving "don't you?".
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought"don't they?" में सही negative रूप और 'do' है। परंतु कर्ता 'You' है, अतः pronoun 'you' होना चाहिए, 'trees' से लिया गया 'they' नहीं।"don't they?" has the right negative form and 'do'. But the subject is 'You', so the pronoun must be 'you', not 'they' from 'trees'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'do you?' ठीक प्रतीत हुआ, क्योंकि यह 'have' के लिए 'do' और pronoun 'you' लेता है। परंतु कथन positive है और tag भी positive है, अतः tag negative होना चाहिए: "don't you?"।'do you?' looks fine because it uses 'do' for 'have' and the pronoun 'you'. But the statement is positive and the tag is also positive, so it must be negative: "don't you?".
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) don't you?
वाक्य positive है और उसका main verb (मुख्य क्रिया) have है।
Positive statement → negative tag का नियम लागू होता है। Present Indefinite (सामान्य वर्तमान काल) में main verb have के साथ tag में do आता है, इसलिए don't you सही है।
✓
You have a lot of coconut trees in your village, don't you?
do you? positive sign को दोहराता है, इसलिए tag मुख्य वाक्य से मेल नहीं खाता।
सरल अर्थ: तुम्हारे गाँव में नारियल के बहुत पेड़ हैं, है ना?
The statement is positive and has the main verb have.
Positive statement → negative tag, and have as a main verb in Present Indefinite takes do: don't you?
✓
You have a lot of coconut trees in your village, don't you?
do you? repeats the positive sign, so the tag clashes.
