TAG QUESTION

# Tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The whole sentence is a "tag question", and the mini-question at the end is called a "question tag".

# We use tag questions at the end of statements to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Am I right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English.

The basic structure is:
(+) Positive statement, (-) negative tag?
E.G. Snow is white, isn't it?
(-) Negative statement, (+)positive tag?
E.G. You don't like me, do you?
