My father was a teacher, wasn’t he?

Explanation:

Question tags are usually used whenever we frequently want someone to agree or disagree. There are two types of question tags, 1) Positive question tags and 2) Negative question tags.  

For example:

You are Sam, aren’t you? - negative question tag, with positive question

You aren’t Sam, are you? - positive question tag, with negative question.

Here the possible answers will be a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’. From the given sentence, we are using negative tag with positive sentence.

Question Tag

My father was a teacher, wasn't he?

Explanation:

  • Sentences are of various kinds.
  • The most common sentence types are Assertive and Interrogative.
  • Assertive sentences make an assertion which may be positive or negative.
  • If positive it is called an affirmative sentence.
  • Interrogative sentences on the other hand raise questions.
  • When assertive sentences and interrogative  sentences combine together they are called question tags.
  • If the assertive sentence is positive then the tag contributing to the interrogation is in the negative.
  • Similarly the tag is positive when the assertive sentence is Negative.
  • Thus the given sentence 'my father was a teacher' being an affirmative sentence has the negative tag 'isn't he?'
