1. TAGS TAGS: USES
Tags are either questions, statements or imperatives added to a clause to invite a response from the listener:
A: She can’t swim, can she?
B: No. Apparently she never learnt as a child. A: Pass me that CD,
will you?
B: [passes the CD] A: Thanks.
TAGS: FORM Tags consist of one of the auxiliary verbs be, do or have, or the main verb
be, or a modal verb, plus a subject, which is most commonly a pronoun:

If the main clause verb is ought to, the tag verb is most commonly should or, far less commonly, ought:
We ought to leave now, really, shouldn’t we? Or far less
commonly We ought to leave now, really, oughtn’t we?
When tags follow imperatives, the tag verb is usually will: A:
Phone me this evening, will you?
B: Yeah, OK. I’ll give you a call about 6.30. THE TYPES OF QUESTION TAGS
Question tags turn statements into yes-no questions. There are two types. 1. Type 1
The first type of question tag consists of an affirmative main clause and a negative tag, or a negative main clause and an affirmative tag.
Negative tags are most commonly used in the contracted form: [main clause] She can handle the problem, [tag]
can’t she?
affirmative main clause + negative tag He won`t come to this meeting, will he?
negative main clause + affirmative tag
2. Type 2
The second type of question tag consists of an affirmative main clause and an affirmative tag:
[main clause] You should attend the English class, [tag] should
you?
She must confirm her presence, must she?
We can use type 2 tags when we do not know if the answer is yes or no. The intonation is usually a rising tone:
IMPERATIVE TAGS
A tag after an imperative clause softens the imperative a little. The tag verb is most commonly will but we can also use would, could, can and won’t:
