Complete the following sentence by using correct option.
I am looking after the garden, __________?
Answer: B
The correct tag is aren't I ?: I am looking after the garden, aren't I?
A positive statement takes a negative question tag formed with the same auxiliary. With I am, the logical form am I not has no standard contraction, so English uses aren't I as the accepted tag.
Amn't I is dialectal (heard in Scotland and Ireland) and is not standard. Isn't I breaks subject-verb agreement, since is goes with he, she or it. Don't I uses the wrong auxiliary: the sentence's auxiliary is am, not do.
