 If we study the above sentences , we notice that each of the
sentence ends with a question . These questions are different
from the Wh- questions or “ Yes/No” questions . These are
called “ Tag questions“
 Why do we use “ TAG QUESTIONS”
 We can use “ Tag questions ” to verify or check information that
we think is true or to check information that we aren’t sure about.
