TAG QUESTIONS
The tag questions are small questions that are placed at the end of a sentence affirmative or negative and generally aim to confirm or deny the content of the phrase itself

Three basic rules

- The tag questions always use auxiliary verbs. - With affirmative sentences we use a tag question to NEGATIVE. - In negative sentences we use a tag question in POSITIVE.
