A tag question is a special construction in
English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The whole sentence is a
"tag question", and the mini-question at the end is called a
"question tag".
A
"tag" is something small that we add to something larger. For
example, the little piece of cloth added to a shirt showing size or washing
instructions is a tag.
We use tag questions at the end of statements to
ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Am I right?" or
"Do you agree?" They are very common in English.
The question tag repeats the auxiliary verb (or main verb when be)
from the statement and changes it to negative or positive.
