Grammar explanationWe can add question tags like isn't it?, can you? or didn't they? to a statement to make it into a question. Question tags are more common in speaking than writing. We often use question tags when we expect the listener to agree with our statement. In this case, when the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag.
If the statement is negative, we use a positive question tag.
If we are sure or almost sure that the listener will confirm that our statement is correct, we say the question tag with a falling intonation. If we are a bit less sure, we say the question tag with a rising intonation. FormationIf there is an auxiliary verb in the statement, we use it to form the question tag.
Sometimes there is no auxiliary verb already in the statement. For example, when: ... the verb in the statement is present simple or past simple and is positive. Here we use don't, doesn't or didn't:
... the verb in the statement is to be in the present simple or past simple. In this case we use to be to make the question tag:
... the verb in the statement is a modal verb. Here we use the modal verb to make the question tag:
If the main verb or auxiliary verb in the statement is am, the positive question tag is am I? but the negative question tag is usually aren't I?:

Submitted by colgnzn on Sat, 26/11/2022 - 12:58 In reply to by Kirk May I please ask what's the correct tag question for "Have you already had dinner today?" specifically when you are expecting the answer to be NO. Thanks Submitted by Peter M. on Sun, 27/11/2022 - 09:28 In reply to by colgnzn Hello colgnzn, To make a tag question we start with an affirmative or negative sentence depending on the answer you expect, and then generally attach a contrasting tag:
I believe the person has had dinner: You've already had dinner, haven't you?
I believe the person has not had dinner: You haven't already had dinner, have you?

Submitted by Kirk on Wed, 16/11/2022 - 06:35 In reply to by SM JAKIRUL ISLAM Hello SM Jakirul Islam, Question tags are unnatural in many of these sentences. Remember that question tags are generally used when we expect the listener to agree, and although they don't always require a response, in theory one should be possible. I can't think of a situation when a response would be natural for 1, 3, 6 or 7. 2 is grammatically incorrect. 4 and 5 don't really invite a response, either, but I suppose you could look at the number and person of the verbs ('wins' and 'wait') and then use a negative form of 'do' for the question tag. By the way, we're happy to help with a question or two, but we don't want to do our users' homework! If you have a teacher, I'd encourage you to ask them for help with these.
