explain question tags

Answer 1

Answer

Question tag may be simply and compactly defined as a single phrase or group of words that is added at the end of a statement or sentence in order to and converts it to a question.

The British English call it "Question Tag" whereas on the other hand American English call it "Tag Question" or "Tail Question".

Question tags are generally common in familiar conversation and not in formal writing or conversation.

Answer 2

A question tag (also known as question tail) is a grammatical structure in which a declarative or an imperative statement is turned into an interrogative fragment (the "tag"). For example, in the sentence "You're John, aren't you?", the statement "You're John" is turned into a question by the tag "aren't you".
