Tag questions

Auxiliaries can be repeated at the end of a sentence, with negation added or removed, to form a tag question. In the event that the sentence did not use an auxiliary verb, a dummy auxiliary (a form of do) is used instead:

You will come, won't you?
You ate, didn't you?
You won't come, will you?
You didn't eat, did you?
