📕📘Question tags are short questions at the end of statements.

They are mainly used in speech when we want to.
👉confirm that something is true or not, or to encourage a reply from the person we are speaking to.

📕Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject.


A positive statement is followed by a negative question tag.

Jack is from Spain, isn't he?

Mary can speak English, can't she?

📕A negative statement is followed by a positive question tag.

📕They aren't funny, are they?

📘He shouldn't say things like that, should he?


📕When the verb in the main sentence is in the present simple we form the question tag with do / does.

You play the guitar, don't you?

📘If the verb is in the past simple we use did.

They went to the cinema, didn't they?

She studied in New Zealand, didn't she?

📘Be careful when the statement contains a word with a negative meaning, the question tag needs to be positive

He hardly ever speaks, does he?

They rarely eat in restaurants, do they?

📕📘Some verbs / expressions have different question tags. For example:

I am - I am attractive, aren't I?

Let's - Let's go to the beach, shall we?

Have got (possession) - He has got a car, hasn'the?

📕When we are sure of the answer and we are simply encouraging a response, the intonation in the question tag goes down:

This is your car, isn't it?

(Your voice goes down when you say isn't it.)

📘📕When we are not sure and want to check information, the intonation in the question tag goes up:

Josh.

کسی را دست انداختن ، شوخی کردن ، متلک

📘Meaning
to tease someone, usually in a friendly way

📕For example

Mick loves to josh people, but he always does it in the right way. He doesn't make fun of people, or make them feel stupid, like some people do when they're fooling around.

Gary told everyone our company was going out of business and we'd all lose our jobs. It was only when Libby started crying that he said, "I was just joshin' you all. Ha! Ha! Ha!" Mick punched him hard in the stomach.
