text for cartoon
Is one of this two sentences good english? To use in a cartoon for US-residents.
1. "Hey Mike, this boy often has to pick up our soap, no?" or: 2. "Hey Mike, this boy will have to pick up often our soap, no?" Regards, speedworld.  |

I'm Spanish and I'm too young, so I can make mistakes, but I think that the first sentence is better. But the "no?" at the end of the sentence I think it would be "doesn't he?" But as I have said, I'm not an expert, not yet.

We all learn from mistakes. I did consider "doesn’t he" before dismissing it. I believe it would have fitted had the sentence been as such:
1. Hey Mike, this boy does have to pick up our soap often, doesn’t he? |
