Question Tags

Note : a very common device in the conversation is that making a statement and at once asking the listener to confirm it. In most languages this is done simply by means of a streotyped phrase.
In english this has to be practised, as we have a variabel form.

  1. Positive statements, negative tag ; Negative statements, Positive tags.
  2. The auxiliaries repeat themselves in the tag
  3. Other verbs use 'do' in the tag.
example : Here is, Is'nt he ? ( He is not here, is he ?)
                You will come, won't you ? ( you won't tell him, will you ?)
