A special structure in English, it's a device used to turn a statement into a question. It nearly always consists of a pronoun, a helping verb, and sometimes the word not.

1st: the subject in the statement matches the subject in the tag.

*You have passed the exam , haven't you?

2nd: the verb to be in the statement matches the verb used in the tag.

*You have passed the exam ,haven't you?

3rd: if the statement is positive, the tag is usually negative & if its negative the tag is positive.

*You have passed the exam ,haven't you?

*You haven't passed the exam ,have you?

*We use it to check information and to ask for agreement.

You haven't seen my grandmother, have you? Check information

It was a lovely party, wasn't it? Ask for agreement

According to the truth, We often answer this question by yes or no..but sometime we answer it by repeat the tag and reverse it .

*We have a lot of work in HD1, haven't we?

*We haven't a lot of work in HD1, have we?

-Yes we have

-Yes we have

-The answer is the same in both cases ,because we have a lot of work to do in HD1 .

-you don’t know where is my mother ,do you? Rising real question-it’s a beautiful movie ,isn't it? Falling not real question

*When no one, somebody, something, etc is the subject in the statement, we use it in the tag to refer to something or nothing and they in the tag to refer to someone or nobody:

-somebody is there , is they?-something happened to my friend, didn’t it?

-After imperatives, we sometimes add will you? or won't you?-After let's we sometimes add shall we? when we are making a suggestion.

-Lets have a break ,shall we?-Don’t open the door ,will you?

1-Something is missing, ………………..?

3-Im right,………….?
