→ Question tags
Question tags are the short questions that tag a sentence that can be a statement (declarative sentence) or an advice or instruction (imperative sentence). These tags are used to confirm an advice or an instruction.
When writing a tag, we must make sure that the question tag has the negative of the verb used in the sentence. That is,
✳ Does in the statement becomes doesn't in the question tag.
✳ Doesn't the statement becomes does in the question tag.
For example,
→ She was a teacher, wasn't she?
The person remembers her as a teacher. The question tag is used to confirm whether he is right or wrong.
→ He doesn't smoke, does he?
As far as the person knows him, he doesn't smoke. The question tag is used just to make sure that his assumption is correct or wrong.
