Question tags: Adding clarification and confirmation
Question tags, also known as tag questions, are short yes-no questions that are added at the end of a statement to seek clarification or confirmation. By using a question tag, the speaker can confirm something they think they already know, such as asking if someone has done something. The question tag is formed by using an auxiliary verb and subject, and its tense and subject match that of the statement. Question tags are commonly used in spoken English and are marked by a falling intonation when the speaker is confident in their statement.
