1. What is a question tag ?

A question tag or tag question is a short question added to the end of a positive or negative statement.
For example:-


2. How are they formed?
 Normally a positive statement is followed by a negative tag, and a negative statement is followed by a positive tag.
For example:-

  • The statement and the tag are always separated by a comma.
  • Treat any statements with nothing, nobody etc like negative statements.

The verb in the statement should be the same tense as the verb in the tag.
For example:-

If the verb used in the statement is an auxiliary verb, then the verb used in the tag must match it. If a modal (can, could, will, should, etc.) is used in the statement, then the same modal is used in the tag part. If the statement doesn't use an auxiliary verb, then the auxiliary 'do' is used in the tag part.
