QUESTION TAGS

QUESTION TAGS ARE SHORT QUESTIONS THAT CAN FOLLOW SENTENCES, ESPECIALLY IN SPOKEN ENGLISH.

WE USE QUESTION TAGS TO ASK IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR TO ASK PEOPLE TO AGREE WITH US.

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.
