Tag questions: Adding another layer of information

Tag questions are a type of questions that people tend to ask in conversations. They involve adding a small question-like part to a statement to turn it into a question. Tag questions serve various purposes, such as inviting a response, seeking confirmation, softening a statement, or expressing uncertainty. The first reason for using tag questions is to engage in a conversation and encourage someone to join in by responding to the statement. Confirmation-seeking is another purpose, where the speaker believes something to be true but wants validation from the listener. Additionally, tag questions can be used to soften a statement or express uncertainty about a certain situation. It's important to note that tag questions can either be a positive statement with a negative tag or a negative statement with a positive tag.
