 Question tags
Question tags have two functions:
1) To turn a statement into a question, for example: That’s right, isn’t it?
2) To encourage a response from the person you are talking to, even though
you know the answer to your own question. For example: It’s cold, isn’t it
?
Question tags have two parts:
1) The same auxiliary verb (will, can, do, have, be) as the sentence. For
example: You will do this, wont you?. If the sencente does not have an
auxiliary verb, do/does/did is used in the question tag. For example. You
like ice cream, don’t you?. Positive sentences have negative question
tags, and viceversa.
2) A pronoun to represent the subject. For example: There’s a proble, isn’t
there?
