🔹 What are Question Tags?

Question tags are short questions added to the end of a statement to seek confirmation or agreement. The tag usually has the opposite form (positive/negative) of the main sentence and uses an auxiliary verb or modal that matches the main clause.

General Rule:
- If the statement is positive, the tag is negative.
- If the statement is negative, the tag is positive.
- The pronoun in the tag must match the subject of the sentence.
