English Grammar
Question Tags

(1) Question Tags are used to check or clarify information, or simply to involve the listener in a more interactive way.

(2) Question Tags consist of an auxiliary or a modal verb + subject pronoun. The subject pronoun replays the subject of the main clause and agrees with the number, person and gender.

E.g. (a) Neha is selfish, isn't she?
(b) We had talked about it, hadn't we?

(3) If the main clause contains an auxiliary or modal verb, it is repeated in the tag.

E.g. (a) You have worked hard, haven't you?
(b) He didn't get it, did he?

(4) If there is no auxiliary or modal in the main clause, auxiliary is used.

E.g. (a) Neha lives in Pune, doesn't she?
(b) You found your pen, didn’t you?

Modal               Auxiliary
May                   Mightn’t
Shall                  Shan't 
Will                    Won't
Was                   Wasn’t
Should               Shouldn't
Does                  Doesn't
Is                        Isn’t
Did                     Don't

Rules:

(1) If the sentence is negative, then the question tag will be positive.

(2) If the sentence is positive, then the question tag will be negative.

(3) After question tag the question mark is necessary (?)

(4) Rewriting the sentence and then putting the question tags.

                               Exercise
