how did tag a question works? how to do it?
Answers
Tag questions (or question tags) turn a statement into a question. They are often used for checking information that we think we know is true. Usually if the main clause is positive, the question tag is negative, and if the main clause is negative, it's positive. For example: It's cold (positive), isn't it (negative)?
a question tag (also known as a tag question) is a clause that turns a statement into a question. A question tag is made up of the statement, a comma, and the question clause. The question tag is usually built by combining an auxiliary verb and a pronoun. Keep in mind an auxiliary verb is either a 'to have' or 'to be' verb. In a question tag, the auxiliary verb matches the verb used in the declarative statement. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.
When creating a question tag, the verb in the statement must be taken into account. For example, if the statement's verb is positive, then the verb in the question tag is negative. Likewise, if the statement's verb is negative, then the verb in the question tag is positive. For example:
The weather is nice outside today, isn't it?
The clouds aren't coming back, are they?
