Tag Questions

"Tag questions" son preguntas que se usan para confirmar lo que piensas que es verdad.

You Speak Spanish, don't you?

(Con esta pregunta indico que pienso que hablas español pero quiero confirmar que asi es:)

Para formar un Tag Question empiezas con la oración que piensas que es verdad ("You Speak Spanish" en el ejemplo de arriba). El Tag ( la parte de la oración que hace que sea una pregunta) se forma usando un verbo auxiliar en el negativo si la oración fue afirmativa o un un vervo auxiliar en el afirmativo si la oración fue afirmativa.

Oraciones Afirmativas  (El verbo auxiliar en el "tag" es negativo.)	Oraciones Negativas  (El verbo auxiliar en el "tag" es afirmativo.)
