Add a question tag

🔰 **English Grammar:*

   *Add Question Tags**

**1. What is a Question Tag?**

- A question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement.

- It turns a statement into a question, often to confirm or check information.

**2. Structure**

- Statement (positive/negative) + comma + question tag + question mark  

  *Example:*  

  - She is coming, **isn't she**?  

  - You don’t like tea, **do you**?

**3. Basic Rules**

- If the statement is positive, the tag is negative:  

  *She is busy,* **isn't she**?

- If the statement is negative, the tag is positive:  

  *He isn't here,* **is he**?

- Use the auxiliary (helping) verb from the statement in the tag.

- If there’s no auxiliary verb, use “do/does/did.”

  - *You eat meat,* **don't you**?

  - *He went home,* **didn't he**?

**4. Pronouns**

- Use the correct pronoun in the tag:

  - *Maria plays guitar,* **doesn't she**?

  - *The students are late,* **aren't they**?

**5. Special Cases**

- With **I am**, use “aren’t I” (informally):

  - *I am early,* **aren’t I**?

- With imperative sentences, use “will you,” “won’t you,” or “can you”:

  - *Open the door,* **will you**?

**6. Common Auxiliary Verbs Used**

- is/are/am

- was/were

- have/has/had

- will/would

- shall/should

- can/could

- do/does/did
