Tag question is a special constraction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question and the mini-question at the end is called a question tag.
Ex:- He does, doesn’t he? - He will play basketball, won’t he?
What is a tag question?
![Page 11: Questions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55625bf9d8b42a14048b45f9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Statement Question Tag
-Positive statementSnow is white
-Negative statementYou don’t like me
-Nagative tagIsn’t it?
-Positive tagDo you?
How are they formed?

The statement and the tag are always separated by a comma.
The verb in the statement should be the same tense as the verb in the tag.
Ex: -His parents are very old, aren't they? -You won't tell him my secret, will
you?
![Page 13: Questions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55625bf9d8b42a14048b45f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If the statement does not use an auxiliary/modal (i.e. it is in the present or past simple tense), then the auxiliary to do must be used.
Ex: She comes from Korea, doesn't she?

Why do we use tag questions?

It is possible for a positive statement
to be followed by a positive tag for even more effect (sarcasm, anger, disbelief, shock, concern etc).
Ex: Oh you will, will you? You think you're funny, do you?
Same Polarity Tag Questions
