Question tags are short questions at the end of a
sentence. They are formed with the auxiliary or
modal verb from the sentence and the appropriate
subject pronoun.
When the verb in the main sentence is in the
present simple, we form the question tag with
do/does. He likes fast cars, doesn't he? When the
verb is in the past simple, we use did. She went to
Thailand, didn't she?
A positive statement is followed by a negative
question tag. Flying is exciting, isn't it? A negative
statement is followed by a positive question tag.
She wasn't at the bus stop, was she?
We use question tags to:
• ask about something we don't know. The
intonation of the question tag goes up. John is OK,
isn't he? (We don't know how John is.)
• ask for confirmation. The intonation of the
question tag goes down. He won't come, will he?
(We know he's sick; we are asking for confirmation.)
