Question tags
Question tags are short questions at the end of statements.
They are used to:
• confirm that something is true or not.
• encourage a reply from the person we are speaking to.
We make question tags with an auxiliary verb (be, have, will, do,) from
the statement and the appropriate subject. When the verb is the main
statement and is in the present simple (and isn’t be or have), we use do
or does in the question tag.
• A positive statement is followed by a negative question tag.
• A negative statement is followed by a positive question tag.

positive statement negative question tag

You are happy, aren’t you?
She has gone home, hasn’t she?
He will decide, won’t he?
They know the answer, don’t they?

negative statement positive question tag

You aren’t scared, are you?
She hasn’t been to Malaga, has she?
He won’t listen, will he?
