Answer:
1) A positive statement should be followed by a negative question tag:
- He IS from France, ISN'T he?
- She CAN speak English, CAN'T she?
- You WERE here last Sunday, WEREN'T you?
(2) A negative statement should be followed by a positive question tag:
- We AREN'T going, ARE we?
- They WON'T be visiting us anymore, WILL they?
(3) It should be noted that only pronouns appear in question tags.
Therefore, if the subject of a sentence is a noun, it should be replaced with a pronoun in the question tag:
- MARY has gone to Rome, hasn't SHE?
- JACK shouldn't say things like that, should HE?
(4) Also, question tags are formed using the modal (helping) verbs in a sentence:
- Lilian CAN swim, CAN'T she?
- He COULDN'T walk yet when he was three, COULD he?
(5) But if the sentence does not have a modal verb in it, question tags are formed using do / don't, does / doesn't (for statements in present tense) and did / didn't (for statements in past tense).
- I guess Mother WENT to the mall yesterday, DIDN'T she?
- You PLAY the guitar, DON'T you?
- Aaron LIKES football, DOESN'T he?
(6) If sentences contain words that have negative meaning such as hardly, rarely, barely, seldom, never, the question tag should be definitely positive.
- They RARELY eat in a restaurant, DO they?
Note : Some modals have different question tags.
- (I am) becomes (aren't I?)
- (will not) becomes (won't)
- Likewise, (won't) becomes (will)
Examples:
(a) I AM a English woman, AREN'T I?
(b) Jason WON'T come, WILL he?
Exceptions :
(i) Positive imperatives (also known as commands)
- Stop singing, will / won't you?
(ii) Negative imperatives
- Don't go there, will you?
(iii) Let's
- Let's go to the park, shall we?
(iv) There is / are
- There isn't any slot left, is there?
