Questions tags📌

Imagen
The "questions tags" are small interrogations that are used to confirm or deepen a topic of interest to obtain more information from the person with whom you find yourself talking. These have different uses, such as: 📍Get quick response on a subject. 📍Reaffirm what was previously expressed. 📍Know the opinion of the interlocutor. 📍Confirmation of information. Example: ✔️We are going to go on vacation this year, aren't we?  ✔️Mary is a brilliant student, isn't she? ✔️Jessica isn't a Doctor, is she? ✔️You think my new car is awesome, don't you? ✔️Angelina and George went on a business trip, didn't they? 🖇️ If the sentence is affirmative, the question will be negative. For example:📌she's really kind, isn't  she? 🖇️If there is a modal verb in the main sentence, the question is formed with this verb. For example:📌you couldn't eat, could you?
