 Tag Questions

Definition

A tag question is a grammatical structure. It refers to a declarative statement or an imperative

 can be considered as an indicator of politeness, emphasis, or irony;

 they may suggest confidence or lack of confidence;
 they may be confrontational or tentative;
 in legal settings, tag questions can be found in leading question.

Form

Tag questions vary according to different factors such as the choice of auxiliary, the negation.

The structure is generally as follows:

Affirmative statement Negative Tag
