    This document provides information on small talk using tag questions, the past perfect tense, and the differences between "already" and "yet". It explains that tag questions are used to check information with statements and tags that are the opposite polarity. It also outlines that the past perfect tense uses the auxiliary "had" plus the past participle of the main verb to describe events that took place before other past events. Finally, it notes that "already" is used in affirmative sentences to indicate an action occurred, while "yet" is used in negative sentences to show an action did not occur.
