Diary 27 May

Today I had an interview as part of the second round of interviews. It's an English tutorial center for enterprises. I originally applied for an assistant, but my English is too good to hold this post. They gave me this chance because my specialty is design. I told the examiner that I would like to change my field. He told me that since I was have no longer been young, it would be better to continue working as a being designer. I said, "Am I old? I don't think so. Whatever my age, is if I am willing to strive, nothing is impossible, isn't it?" I said.

I am uncertain regarding the grammatically correct use of "isn't it" at the end of a sentence. I am not sure if it should be 'isn't' or 'is it'. The issue is the double negative. I understand your meaning, but even native English speakers get this wrong. The use of "isn't it" is a question tag. I think the proper ending should be 'is it'.

There is a rule. If the statement is positive, then the tag is negative. If the statement is negative, then the tag is positive. Unfortunately like most things in English, there are exceptions. This website may help you:
