Tag questions are also formed using the auxiliary. In the following examples, the tag questions are underlined. In spoken English, aren't I? is often used as a tag question. For example:
| Affirmative Statement | Affirmative Statement with Tag Question | |
| I am working. | I am working, am I not? | |
| You are working. | You are working, aren't you? | |
| He is working. | He is working, isn't he? | |
| She is working. | She is working, isn't she? | |
| It is working. | It is working, isn't it? | |
| We are working. | We are working, aren't we? | |
| They are working. | They are working, aren't they? |
8. Add negative tag questions to the affirmative statements given in Exercise 5. Except when the subject of the verb is I, use contractions for the tag questions. For example:
It is snowing.
It is snowing, isn't it?
They are being cautious.
They are being cautious, aren't they?
