What is a Question Tag?
A Question Tag is a small question added at the end of a statement as an agreement or as a confirmation.
Rules to make a Question Tag:
➛ If the statement is negative, then the question tag must be positive and if the statement is positive, then the question tag must be negative.
➛ The tense of the tag is fixed by the tense of the modal verb present in the sentence. If the statement does not have any modal verb then the auxiliary "to do" must be used.
For example: He comes from Beijing, doesn't he?
Structure:
➛ Positive Statement + Negative question tag
➛ Negative Statement + Positive question tag

Tag questions ( or question tags ) turn a statement into a question. 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 )?
• It isn't cold ( negative ), is it ( positive )?
