We use tag questions to affirm what we believe to be true. We form tag questions for affirmative sentences as follows:
He speaks English very well, doesn't he? Mary passed the exam, didn't she? You are a nurse, aren't you? You have read the book, haven't you? I am your friend, aren't I? They will buy the car, won't they?
We form tag questions for negative sentences as follows:
He doesn't speak English, does he? Mary didn't pass the exam, did she? You aren't a nurse, are you? You haven't read the book, have you? I am not sick, am I? They won't buy the car, will they?
Remember that a tag question is used when we want to confirm a fact.
