## Tag Questions: Identifying and Correcting Auxiliary and Pronoun Errors

💡 **KEY FORMULA / RULE:** A **tag question** mirrors the tense and auxiliary/modal verb of the main clause, matches the subject pronoun, and reverses the polarity: an **affirmative statement takes a negative tag** , whereas a **negative statement takes an affirmative tag**.

⚠ **EXAM INSIGHT / PITFALL:** Always verify that the tag uses the exact same grammatical subject pronoun (_he/she/it/they_) and matches the auxiliary of the main clause rather than introducing an unrelated verb (e.g., using _wasn’t_ instead of _didn’t_ for action verbs in the past tense).
