Disjunctive Questions. Tag-questions

Disjunctive Questions. They are formed with the auxiliary verb used to form general questions in each grammar tense. If the sentence is positive, the tag question is negative and if it is negative, the tag-question is positive. E.g.: He likes cats, doesn’t he? They are not our students, are they? She has been working here for five years, hasn’t she? There are no armchairs here, are there?But! I am right, aren’t I? I am hungry, aren’t I? I am not late, am I? We put the tag-question “will you” at the end of a request to make it more polite. E.g.: Close the door, will you ? Come here, will you? Don’t run, will you? We put the tag-question “shall we” at the end of a question if it is a suggestion to do something together. E.g.: Let’s go to the garden to have tea, shall we?
