Question Answer
Sometimes there is no auxiliary verb already in the statement. For example, when: ... the verb in the statement is present simple or past simple and is positive. Here we use don't, doesn't or didn't: Jenni eats cheese, doesn't she? I said that already, didn't I?
... the verb in the statement is to be in the present simple or past simple. In this case we use to be to make the question tag: The bus stop's over there, isn't it? None of those customers were happy, were they?
... the verb in the statement is a modal verb. Here we use the modal verb to make the question tag: They could hear me, couldn't they? You won't tell anyone, will you?
If the main verb or auxiliary verb in the statement is am, the positive question tag is am I? but the negative question tag is usually aren't I?: I'm never on time, am I? I'm going to get an email with the details, aren't I?
