You Had Better Finish Your Homework Tonight,_________? (Question Tag)?

Hi Viceidol

If this is a sentence from a test, they are probably expecting "hadn't you" as the answer.

In my opinion, however, it's not a sentence you're likely to actually hear someone say.

I understand now. Thank you, Amy! Your answer is very helpful.

You had better finish your homework tonight,_______?

What question tag should be filled into the blank? Thank you!

Wouldn't it be better if the question were phrased as follows?

You'd better finish your homework tonight,_______?

don't you

HI,
No.

' . . . , hadn't you?'

Clive

hadn't you

That's is rather important a question, but there's no explanation. For me, I think 'had better' is a modal verb, so we can inverse it as the other helping verb: You'd better finish your homework tongight, had better you?

You'll never in your life hear a native speaker say that.
