Question tag is a question added at the end of a sentence. Speakers use tag questions mainly to make sure their information is correct or to seek agreement. In question tags, we use an auxiliary verb (have/was/will etc). We use do/does/did for the present and past simple. Karen plays the piano, doesn´t she?     "Well, yes, but not very well." Positive sentence   +   negative tag You didn´t lock the door, did you?  " No, I forgot" Negative sentence     +       positive tag AFFIRMATIVE
