English Language & Usage Asked on September 30, 2021
This question Are constructions like "That's me out, then" primarily British rather than American? is more about "that’s"
This question’s answers When a person replies with a sentence starting with "then"/"than", should it be then or than? are very close, but the "then" is almost a conjunction there, not an offhand interjection
Related, the "yes", "right", "no", "ja", and "okay" in
do not read like classic question-tags as they do not use a form of "to be". They might confirmatory or leading
This is not in the form of a question, but it feels the same to me
Even when the sentence has a question mark, sometimes it’s not really asking (allofunctional implicature); I just want to know what that last word is called and if it should ever be "than"
Cheers
