Explain the concept of positive question tags.

Positive question tags are used to confirm or seek agreement with a statement that is already positive. They are formed by using an auxiliary verb or modal verb that matches the tense and subject of the main statement, followed by a pronoun. For example, in the statement "You are coming, aren't you?", the positive question tag "aren't you?" seeks confirmation or agreement with the positive statement "You are coming." Positive question tags are commonly used in spoken English to engage the listener and encourage a response.
