(grammar) a short question added to the end of a statement that is formed form the same statement
A tag question is a short question added to the end of a statement to confirm or seek agreement about the information presented. It typically consists of an auxiliary verb or modal verb that matches the tense of the main verb in the statement, along with a pronoun that refers to the subject. For example, in the statement "You are coming to the party, aren't you?" the tag question "aren't you?" seeks confirmation of the main statement. Tag questions can express various attitudes, such as uncertainty or expectation, and are commonly used in conversational English to encourage response or agreement. Understanding tag questions is important for effective communication, as they can help to engage listeners and facilitate dialogue.
