Tag Questions

Tag questions are questions that are used to confirm what you think is true.

You speak Spanish, don't you?  
(I think you speak Spanish but I'm asking to confirm that this is true.) 

To form a tag question you begin with the statement that you think is true ("You speak Spanish" in the example above).  The tag (the part at the end that makes it a question) is formed by using an auxiliary verb in the negative if the statement was affirmative or an auxiliary verb in the affirmative if the statement was negative.  See the examples in the chart below.

Affirmative Statements
(The auxiliary verb in the tag is negative.)  		 Negative Statements 
(The auxiliary verb in the tag is affirmative.)  
to be
You're a teacher, aren't you? You aren't a teacher, are you?
He's tired, isn't he? He isn't tired, is he?
Present Tense
You speak English, don't you? You don't speak English, do you?
He swims, doesn't he? He doesn't swim, does he?
Past Tense
He went to school, didn't he? He didn't go to school, did he?
Present Perfect
You have finished, haven't you? You haven't finished, have you?
He has left, hasn't he? He hasn't left, has he?
Future
She will cook, won't she? She won't cook, will she?

*The only one that doesn't follow the pattern above is the affirmative form of "am".  The negative, however, does follow the pattern.

I'm tall, aren't I? 
I'm not tall, am I?
