Question tags are short questions at the end of statements.

They are mainly used in speech when we want to:

confirm that something is true or not, or

to encourage a reply from the person we are speaking to.


Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject.


A positive statement is followed by a negativequestion tag.

Jack is from Spain, isn't he?

Mary can speak English, can't she?


A negative statement is followed by a positivequestion tag.

They aren't funny, are they?

He shouldn't say things like that, should he?


When the verb in the main sentence is in the present simple we form the question tag with do / does.

You play the guitar, don't you?

Alison likes tennis, doesn't she?


If the verb is in the past simple we use did.

They went to the cinema, didn't they?

She studied in New Zealand, didn't she?


When the statement contains a word with a negative meaning, the question tag needs to be positive

He hardly ever speaks, does he?

They rarely eat in restaurants, do they?
