Answer 2

Answer- The above question is from the topic 'Question Tags'.

Let's know about question tags.

Question tags help in converting a declarative/assertive or imperative sentences into questions.

How to determine whether we need to insert a positive tag or a negative one?

The answer simply depends upon the main clause.

If the main clause is positive, question tag will be negative.

If the main clause is negative, question tag will be positive.

Examples:

1. You went to the party, didn't you?

2. We swim daily, don't we?

3. You don't watch movies, do you?

4. Help me, won't you?

5. The books are yours, aren't they?

Given statement: The shoes are expensive, ___________ ?

The main clause is positive. So, the question tag will be negative.

⇒ The shoes are expensive, aren't they?
