1. She never smokes.
Question tag: She never smokes, does she?
Explanation: When we have a sentence in the affirmative form (she never smokes), the question tag transforms the sentence into a question by using the auxiliary verb from the positive sentence in the negative form. In this case, "does" is the auxiliary verb used in the question tag.
2. They don't live in the centre of the city.
Question tag: They don't live in the centre of the city, do they?
Explanation: Similar to the previous example, when the sentence is negative (they don't live), we use the auxiliary verb "do" in its positive form (do they?) in the question tag.
3. Her husband drives a lorry.
Question tag: Her husband drives a lorry, doesn't he?
Explanation: Since the sentence is already in the affirmative form, the question tag follows the pattern of using the negative form of the auxiliary verb "do" in this case ("doesn't he?").
4. His girl doesn't wear short dresses.
Question tag: His girl doesn't wear short dresses, does she?
Explanation: The sentence is negative, so we use the auxiliary verb "does" in the affirmative form (does she?) in the question tag.
5. You speak Chinese.
Question tag: You speak Chinese, don't you?
Explanation: In this example, the sentence is in the affirmative form, so the question tag uses the negative form of the auxiliary verb "do" ("don't you?").
6. His children don't like apples.
Question tag: His children don't like apples, do they?
Explanation: As the sentence is negative, the question tag uses the auxiliary verb "do" in its positive form (do they?).
7. She starts her work at 9:00.
Question tag: She starts her work at 9:00, doesn't she?
Explanation: The original sentence is already in the affirmative form, so the question tag uses the negative form of the auxiliary verb "does" (doesn't she?).
8. These boys don't play football.
Question tag: These boys don't play football, do they?
Explanation: Since the sentence is negative, the question tag uses the auxiliary verb "do" in its positive form (do they?).
9. Your aunt often walks in the park.
Question tag: Your aunt often walks in the park, doesn't she?
Explanation: The sentence is affirmative, so the question tag uses the negative form of the auxiliary verb "does" (doesn't she?).
10. You translate texts regularly.
Question tag: You translate texts regularly, don't you?
Explanation: Similar to the previous examples, when the sentence is affirmative, the question tag uses the negative form of the auxiliary verb "do" (don't you?).
Note: Question tags are used to confirm information, seek agreement, or ask for confirmation in a concise way. They are formed by using the auxiliary verb (or main verb "be" in some cases) from the original sentence in the opposite form. The subject pronoun is also used in the question tag to match the subject of the sentence.
