Introduction
A tag question is composed of a declarative followed by a question tag:
She's in her late eighties, isn't she? (Bank of English)
And a lot of them actually did fall down, didn't they? (Bank of English)
Tag questions can take many forms. As some of these forms are seldom
described in coursebooks, teachers and students sometimes wonder whether they are
grammatical or not. To see a relevant teacher's question, please click on this icon
