    We use tags in spoken English to keep conversations open by prompting others to comment, though not in formal writing. Tags are formed by taking the first auxiliary verb in a statement and reversing its polarity to create a short question-like ending. For positive statements, a negative tag is used, and for negative statements, a positive tag is created according to mechanical rules provided. Examples demonstrate adding tags to various statements.

    QUESTION TAGS

    We use tags in spoken English but not in formal written English.


    They are not really questions but are a way of asking the other person to make
    a comment and so keep the conversation open.
    Making a tag is very mechanical. To make a tag, use the first auxiliary. If there
    is no auxiliary, use do, does or did. With a positive sentence, make a negative
    tag and with a negative sentence, make a positive tag.
    Some examples:
    It's beautiful, isn't it?
    You know him, dont you?
    He finished it, didn't he?
    He will come, won't he?
    It isn't very good, is it?
    Jenny doesn't know James, does she?
    They didn't leave, did they?
    He wont do it, will he?
