Grammar notes

Negative Sentence, Positive Tag

After a negative statement, the tag is positive. The helper verb still needs to match the main sentence. The speaker usually expects agreement.

  • Example: You won't be late, will you?
  • Example: He isn't tired, is he?

Quick Rule

  • negative statement -> positive tag
  • use the same helper family in the tag

When the sentence is negative, the tag flips to the other side.
