Question tags are mini questions we add to the end of a sentence. There are negative and positive question tags:

You're from Japan, aren't you?

You didn't understand, did you?

In question tags, we repeat the auxiliary verb, but change it from positive to negative or vice-versa:

  • You've seen that movie, haven't you?
  • Jane can't speak French, can she?
  • We went to Disneyland last year, didn't we?
  • Peter and Sue'll get here soon, won't they?
  • You like peppers, don't you?
