Final answer:

Question tags are used in English grammar to confirm information. They can be made using the main verb or an auxiliary verb, such as 'do', 'does', or 'did'. The question tag is negative if the question is positive, and positive if the question is negative.


Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is English.

In English grammar, question tags are often used to confirm information. When making question tags, the main verb or an auxiliary verb is used. If there is no auxiliary verb, the question tag uses the main verb or 'do', 'does', or 'did'. If the question is positive, the question tag is negative, and if the question is negative, the question tag is positive.

For example, in the sentence 'You are a singer, aren't you?', the main verb 'are' is used in the question tag 'aren't you?'. In the sentence 'You lived in Lima, didn't you?', the main verb 'lived' is used in the question tag 'didn't you?'
