Question Tags and Pronouns

​QUESTION TAGS

Questions tags are short questions at the end of an affirmative or negative sentence.
They are formed with a modal or an auxiliary verb + a personal pronoun.

• ​When we want someone to agree with what we are saying.
  Eg. That was a fun film, wasn't it?

• When we want to make sure what we are saying is correct.
  Eg. You finish school at 3, don't you?

​When do we use it...?

Types of Question Tags

​Types or Rules	​Examples
​We use negative question tags with affirmative sentences and vice versa.	​- You don't like spicy food, do you? - She can travel tomorrow, can't she?
​When the main sentence has an auxiliary or modal verb, we use the same auxiliary or modal verb in the question tag, respectively.	​- You haven't seen that documentary, have you? - They can't all travel at once, can they?
​When the main sentence contains a verb in the present simple or past simple, we use do/does, don't/doesn't, did/didn't.	​- You often study in the library, don't you? - He moved to California last year, didn't she?
