A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. We use tag questions to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Is that right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English.

The basic structure of a tag question is:

positive statement negative tag

Snow is white, isn't it?

negative statement positive tag

You don't like me, do you?

Notice that the tag repeats the auxiliary verb (or main verb when be) from the statement and changes it to negative or positive.

Positive Statement Tag Questions

Look at these examples with positive statements. You will see that most of the time, the auxiliary verb from the positive statement is repeated in the tag and changed to negative.

(+) positive statement (-) negative tag

subject auxiliary main verb   auxiliary not personal pronoun same as subject

You are coming,   are n't you?

We have finished,   have n't we?

You do like coffee, do n't you?

You   like coffee, do n't you?

They will help,   wo n't they?

I can come,   can 't I?

We must go,   must n't we?

He should try harder, should n't he?

You   are English, are n't you?

John   was there, was n't he?

Notice:

the use of do in the two coffee questions. Remember that in Present Simple, do is optional in positive statements (You like coffee/You do like coffee). But the do must appear in the tag. The same applies to Past Simple did.

in last two questions, no auxiliary for main verb be in Present Simple and Past Simple. The tag repeats the main verb.
