Answer 1

The boy plays cricket well, isn't he?

• The given statement is a positive sentence. when we add a question tag, then the statement turns into a question.

• If the sentence is positive then we need to add a negative question tag whereas if the sentence is negative then we need to add a positive question tag.

For example:

Positive sentences with negative question tags:

He is Indian, isn't he?

It was hot yesterday, wasn't it?

They live in Japan, don't they?

Negative sentences with positive tags:

They are not late, are they?

He is not an Indian, is he?
