Когда мы знаем, о чем речь, но нам необходимо подтверждение, мы используем форму разделительного вопроса - в английском языке question - tags (русск. не так ли?).

· He doesn’t like soap operas, does he?

William: Richard, I have finished my new play!

Richard: Oh, yes? What’s it called?

William: Hamlet.

Richard: I don’t like the title. Anyway, let’s have a look at it. The psychological plays are not popular any more.

William: Oh, dear. Aren’t they?

Richard: And what does this mean?

William: What?

Richard: This. “To be or not. To be, that is a question.” Well?

William: No, Richard. “To be or not to be. That is a question.”

Text 2. Happy Birthday, Mr. President

In May 1962, Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” at John F. Kennedy’s birthday celebration in New York.

She wore a skin-tight dress made of silk and covered in 6,000 beads. It cost her $12,000. Her hairdresser said, “Marilyn was amazingly beautiful that night, like a vision.”

37 years later, Christies of New York held a “Private property of Marilyn Monroe” auction. 1,500 items of Marilyn’s property were sold, including the famous dress.

When Christies looked for a model to wear the dress at the auction, they were surprised to find that the 1 meter and 68 actress was very slim. “One of the smallest mannequins we found in the United States was still not the correct size for the Happy Birthday dress, they said. “Marilyn was much smaller than people realized.”

When a collector brought the dress for $ 1,150,000, it became the most expensive dress in the world. The buyer said that it was cheaper than he expected. He was prepared to pay $3,000,000.

       There are few photos of Marilyn singing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President”, but it was her last memorable public performance. She died three months later at the age of 36.
