• Question tags (is he?, aren’t they?,
do you?, did we?, etc.) are often
used to check something you
already think is true.
Your name’s Maria, isn’t it?
• To form a question tag, we use:
the correct auxiliary verb (be / do
/ have / will / would, etc.) in the
correct form (do / don’t, did /
didn’t, will / wont, etc.)
a pronoun (he , it, they, etc.)

• Use a negative auxiliary verb if the sentence is
positive
You do the washing every Saturday, don’t you?
• Use a positive auxiliary verb if the sentence is
negative or with never
You don’t do the washing at the weekends, do you?
You never do washing, do you?
