1. Tails.
Answer : in informal spoken English, tails are sometimes used at the end of a
sentence to emphasise or make clearer what we have just said. We often use them
when we give an evaluation of something:
It's a really good PHOto , THAT (tail) one
She's a JUDGE, my AUNT (tail)
Tails consist of a noun phrase. They usually have a rising tone because they are
referring to or expanding on something that has been said before.
Some tails consist of this, that, these or those or a phrase beginning with one
of these words. These tails usually emphasise what we are saying:
They're all we've got LEFT, THOSE two.
They taste GREAT, these BIScuits.
Other tails make clear who or what we are referring to:
He's good COOK, Nigel (Nigel is a good cook)
