    Negative questions and tag questions are grammatical structures that can be used to seek confirmation or clarification of a statement in an indirect way. A negative question reverses the polarity of a statement and asks for confirmation, while a tag question directly repeats or references the statement and adds a short question tag to confirm the meaning. Both structures allow the speaker to check understanding or facts in a way that avoids direct assertions and leaves room for the response to disagree or qualify the initial statement.
