Question Tags
A question tag is the echo of your sentence. If you shout Positive, the echo returns Negative. It's the law of the verbal mirror. Una "question tag" es el eco de tu frase. Si gritas en positivo, el eco vuelve en negativo. Es la ley del espejo verbal.
Positive sentence → Negative Tag
Negative sentence → Positive Tag
