1. QUESTION TAGS

2. What are question tags?
Question tags are short questions at the end of a sentence, either requesting information (when the voice goes up) or inviting agreement (when the voice goes down). Positive tags are normally used with negative sentences, and negative tags with positive sentences:
You don’t live here, do you?
John enjoyed the meal, didn’t he?

3. As well as do and did (with present and past simple), other auxiliary verbs are used in question tags:
He isn’t very friendly, is he?
I can park here, can’t I?
You’ve eaten all the cake, haven’t you?
Be careful with have and have got:
She has a nice car, doesn’t she?
She has got a nice car, hasn’t she?

4. The question tag after an imperative is will you, and after Let’s it is shall we:
Don’t forget to ring, will you?
Let’s pay the bill, shall we?
Be careful with:
She’d rather stay at home, wouldn’t she?
You’d better have a rest, hadn’t you?
I am late, aren’t I?
