--questions--

--text--

Why is Bob using right at the end of the sentence?

--answers--

He is using it to confirm agreement or understanding.


He is using it to describe something correct.

--feedback--

Right here is not describing something as correct. Think about how it is used at the end of a question.


He is using it to give directions.

--feedback--

Right can mean a direction, like left or right, but that's not how Bob is using it here.


He is using it to indicate an action must be done immediately.

--feedback--

Right is not asking for urgency. Listen again to how Bob uses it at the end of his sentence.

--explanation--

Right at the end of a sentence is a question tag. It's used to confirm agreement or check if the listener understands. For example:

  • It's going to rain today, right? - The speaker is asking for confirmation about the weather.

  • You finished the project, right? - The speaker is checking if the listener completed the task.

In this dialogue, Bob is asking Maria to confirm or agree with his statement.
