Question tags
Look at the example.
We've been lucky with the weather, haven't we?
Haven't we? is a question tag. These are quite common in spoken English. We can add question tags to a statement to ask for agreement or confirmation. Question tags have a meaning similar to Is this true? or Do you agree? Look at more examples of question tags:
It's a nice day, isn't it?
I'm a bit late, aren't I?
You're French, aren't you?
We can swim here, can't we?
The shops close at midday, don't they?
That was a great day, wasn't it?
Note how a negative statement is followed by an affirmative question tag.
You won't get lost, will you?
I'm not going too fast, am I?
You haven't seen this before, have you?
Match the two parts to complete sentences with question tags.
