question tag

Question tags (is he?, aren’t they?, do you?, did we?, etc.) are often used to check something you already think is true.
Your name’s Maria, isn’t it?
To form a question tag, we use:
the correct auxiliary verb (be / do / have / will / would, etc.) in the correct form (do / don’t, did / didn’t, will / wont, etc.)
a pronoun (he , it, they, etc.)

NB!
Use a negative auxiliary verb if the sentence is positive
You do the washing every Saturday, don’t you?
Use a positive auxiliary verb if the sentence is negative or with never
You don’t do the washing at the weekends, do you?
You never do washing, do you?
