Question Tags Questions
The rules for using question tags in persuasive sentences are as follows:
1. Use a positive question tag after a negative statement:
Example: "You don't mind helping me, do you?"
2. Use a negative question tag after a positive statement:
Example: "You like this idea, don't you?"
3. Use the same auxiliary verb in the question tag as in the main statement:
Example: "She can come with us, can't she?"
4. If the main statement does not have an auxiliary verb, use the appropriate form of "do" in the question tag:
Example: "You understand, don't you?"
5. In persuasive sentences, question tags are often used to seek agreement or confirmation from the listener.
