Question Tags 2

rather a way to get feedback from the person we are speaking to. Question tags
are used in spoken English and not written English and more in informal than
formal situations.
Rules:
If a statement is positive, the tag will be negative. If the statement is negative,
the tag will be positive.
Use the first auxiliary/helping verb in the statement in the tag and invert the
auxiliary/helping verb and add the subject.
If there is no auxiliary, use do/does in present tense and did in the past tense.
