Question tag = a short question at the end of your sentence used to check whether the other person agrees with you or to get confirmation from the listener. 

How to form a sentence with a question tag?

Als er:

• Een vorm van to be (Am, Is, Are, Was, Were)    OF

• Een hulpwerkwoord (Can, Could, Will, Would, Must)

in de zin staat, herhaal je die vorm in de aangeplakte vraag

• Als er geen vorm van to be of hulpwerkwoord in de zin staat, gebruik je do/don't, does/doesn't of did/didn't in de aangeplakte vraag

3 rules to make a tag question

rule 1: find the auxilary verb or the verb in a sentence
