Question tagging is a procedure of turning a sentence into a question. They are, commonly, used to verify the authenticity of the available information or to motivate the addressee to get a reply. They are small questions located at the end of the sentences.
These tags are framed by using the modal or auxiliary verbs already used in the sentence that is followed by an appropriate subject, also. Hence, the complete given sentence along with the question tag will be:
The sun sets in the west, doesn’t it?
The sun sets in the west, doesn't it?
Explanation
A tag question is a question added at the end of a sentence. A tag question following an affirmative statement generally has the form of a negative question, with the meaning: Isn't that true?
As is the convention, only personal pronouns are used in question tags.
A question tag always consists of the helping verb of the tense and the pronoun/noun used in the main clause.
