Tag Questions page 25
A tag question é utilizada no final das sentenças para obter confirmação do que foi dito
anteriormente, e por isso ela é curta e rápida.

utilizamos esses verbos para formar a tag question. Observe os exemplos:

Observação:
Para a 1º pessoa do singular I, a tag question tem uma forma irregular.
