Question tags are short questions that can follow sentences, especially in spoken
English.
We make question tags with auxiliary verb (have, be, can etc) pronoun (!, you, etc)
We use question tags to ask if something is true, or to ask people to agree with us.
"ou haven#t got my keys have you$
%his music is very goo&, is it$
Question tags are usually negative (') after a(rmative sentences, an& not negative
after a negative sentence. We &on#t write question tags after questions.
!t is warm, isn#t it$ !t isn#t col&, is it$
)egative tags are usually contracte& * for example !sn#t it$
