• If the sentence is positive then we need to add a negative question tag whereas if the sentence is negative then we need to add a positive question tag.

For example:

Positive sentences with negative question tags:

He is Indian, isn't he?

It was hot yesterday, wasn't it?

They live in Japan, don't they?
