Learn English: Getting to "Yes" with Tag Questions

Learn how to use tag questions in English with a fun, natural conversation! In this English grammar lesson, you'll see how native speakers use expressions such as "don't you?" "isn't it?" "have you?" "do you?" and "aren't we?" to invite agreement, confirm information, and keep a conversation moving.

What exactly is a tag question? Compare these two sentences:

👉 Do you like Italian food?
👉 You like Italian food, don't you?

The first question simply asks for information. The second suggests an expected answer and invites the listener to confirm it.

In this lesson, you'll hear tag questions used naturally in a humorous conversation about two people making plans for dinner. As the conversation develops, you'll see how repeated tag questions can create a rhythm of agreement—and how the person who seems to be controlling the conversation may not actually be the one in control!

You'll learn useful examples including:

• It's been a long week, hasn't it?
• We deserve to enjoy the weekend, don't we?
• You like Italian food, don't you?
• You haven't tried it yet, have you?
• We're having dinner on Friday, aren't we?
• You're paying, aren't you?

This lesson is ideal for ESL students, English learners, teachers, and anyone who wants to improve conversational English. Watch and listen to the dialogue, notice the grammar patterns, and practice using tag questions in your own conversations.

Tag questions are useful for more than grammar. They can help you sound more natural in English, check information, invite agreement, and make conversations more interactive.
