Question tags are short questions placed at the end of sentences, especially in spoken English, to solicit input or confirmation. If the main part of the sentence is affirmative, the question tag is negative, such as "It's warm, isn't it?". Conversely, if the main part is negative, the question tag is affirmative, like "She couldn't see it, could she?". Question tags are useful tools for conversation.
