Hello everybody,
Here is an extract from Headway Advaced Grammar Reference:
It's possible to introduce the subject of the sentence in the tag. In this case, there can be inversion.
a)She's a lovely dancer, Jane is.
b) Likes his food, does Malcolm.
I'm confused by 'b)', a very strange sentence construction to me, hasn't there be 'He' as a subject: He likes his food, does Malcolm.
Or then to reinforce we should say: He likes his food, Malcolm does. ?
Many thanks in advance.
