He was the jewel thief, wasn'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?
He can't speak Spanish, can he?
