    Tag Questions

    Tag questions (or question tags) turn a statement into a question. They are often used for checking
    information that we think we know is true.

    Here is a statement.

    • It is cold today.

    Here's the statement with its question tag.

    • It's warm today, isn't it?

    A question tag repeats the auxiliary verb and the subject pronoun. Usually positive statements have
    negative question tags, and negative statements have positive question tags.

    • She isn't German, is she? (Negative statement, positive question tag.)

    If the statement has an auxiliary verb in it, you use the same verb in the tag question.

    • He has eaten lunch, hasn’t he? (The auxiliary verb is ‘has’.)

    If there is no auxiliary verb (in the present simple and past simple) use do / does / did (just like when
    you make a normal question).

    • She lives in Warsaw, doesn’t she?


    • They went to the meeting, didn’t they?

    There is one weird exception: the question tag after 'I am' is 'aren't I'!

    • I’m hungry, aren’t I?
