Explicação:

As ''question tags'' são usadas para confirmar ou questionar uma determinada informação anteriormente mencionada em uma frase. (é como se fosse o nosso ''né?'')

Você vai na festa, não vai / né?

             ║                     ║

       afirmativa        negativa

Você não vai na festa, né / vai?

             ║                        ║

       negativa            afirmativa

→→ A ''question tag'' sempre aparece no fim da sentença, separada por uma vírgula e ponto de interrogação no final.

→→ A ''question tag'' tem que usar o mesmo verbo que está na primeira parte da frase, não se esquecendo dos auxiliares do - does - did e ''modal verbs'', quando necessário.

→→ Se a sentença está na forma afirmativa, a ''question tag'' tem que ser na forma negativa.

You are studying German, aren't you?  

David is an engineer, isn't he?

The kids play soccer on Sundays, don't they?

→→ Se a sentença está na forma negativa, a ''question tag'' tem que ser na forma afirmativa.

She is not going home, is she?  

They don't like to play chess, do they?

Susan will not travel in December, will she?

→→ Se a sentença não tem verbo ''to be''', a ''question tag'' será feita usando o auxiliar DO - DOES para o presente, WILL para o futuro e DID para o passado.

David likes to play golf, doesn't he?  

We don't want to travel, do we?  

Paul went to play golf, didn't he?

Tom will travel to Japan next month, won't he?

→→ Quando a frase for na primeira pessoa do singular afirmativa ( I AM), com verbo ''to be'' a ''question tag'' é feita com “are”, não com o “am”, porque o ''am'' não pode ser contraído com o ''not''.

I am a good student, aren't I?

Observação: Se a primeira parte da frase estiver na negativa com verbo ''to be'', a ''question tag'' não muda.

I am not a teacher, am I?

I am not studying, am I?

→→ Quando a frase for imperativa, a ''question tag'' deve usar WILL como auxiliar FORMAL e WOULD - como auxiliar INFORMAL

Close the windows, will you?

Answer the phone, would you?

→→ Quando usarmos LET’S na primeira frase, a ''question tag'' deve usar o auxiliar SHALL

Let’s study together tonight, shall we?

Let’s go out tomorrow night, shall we?
