$\large \rm \orange { QUESTION \: \: TAG }$

Tag questions (or question tags) turn a statement into a question. They are often used for checking information that we think we know is true. Usually if the main clause is positive, the question tag is negative, and if the main clause is negative, it's positive. For example: It's cold (positive), isn't it (negative)?

The two basic rules about tag questions are:

1. If the statement is negative, the tag must be positive. If the statement is positive the tag must be negative. ...

1. The tense of the tag is determined by the tense of the auxiliary/modal verb of the statement that precedes it.

We add question tags to the end of statements to turn them into questions. They are used in spoken language, especially when we want to check something is true, or invite people to agree with us. ... We add a clause in the form of a question at the end of a sentence.

◾️What is a question tag?

A question tag (also known as question tail) is a grammatical structure in which a assertive or an imperative statement is turned into a question by the addition of an interrogative fragment (the "tag").

Example -

• Sakib is my best friend, isn't he?

In this example, the assertive sentence "Sakib is my best friend" turned into a question by adding the phrase or tag "isn't he" .
