Explanation:

• In grammar, a question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that turns the statement into a question. The rules for question tags are:

1. The sentence and question tag must be in the same tense.
2. Use "auxiliary verbs" and "not" abbreviations for negative question tags.
3. If the sentence is positive, the question tag should be negative and vice versa.
4. Always use pronouns in question tags.
5. A tag question is a structure in which a question element is added to a declaration or imperative clause.
6. The resulting speech act consists of an assertion paired with a confirmation prompt.
7. Question tags are more common when speaking than in writing.
8. We often use question tags when we expect our listeners to agree with what we are saying.
