    A tag question is a special construction and very common in spoken


    English. Tag questions are statements followed by a mini-question.
    We use them to:
    ▪ Ask for confirmation
    ▪ Check information we know is true
    ▪ When we expect the listener to agree with our statement
    They mean something like: "Is that right?" or "Do you agree?“
    Tag questions
    Tag questions are made using an auxiliar (be, do/does, did,
    have/has) and a subject pronoun.
    There is one exception: the question tag after I am is aren't I.
    I'm in charge of the food, aren't I?
