What are negative question tags?

Negative question tags are short phrases that are added to the end of a sentence to turn it into a question and to confirm or seek agreement. They are formed by using a negative auxiliary verb (such as "isn't," "don't," "can't," etc.) in the question tag when the main sentence is positive. For example, in the sentence "You like ice cream, don't you?", the negative question tag "don't you?" is added to seek confirmation or agreement.
