What is a tag question? don’t they? They work at the travel agency, do they? Boys don’t wear dresses, A tag question is a short question added to the end of a positive or negative statement.
How are they formed? Normally a positive statement is followed You and I are going to the party, and a negative statement is followed You aren't English,
!The statement and the tag are always separated by a comma. He doesn't want to come with us
! Treat any statements with nothing, nobody etc like negative statements. He never complains, I see nobody here ,
The verb in the statement should be the same tense as the verb in the tag.
