    INTONATION

    Back to the aim of the usage of question tags, that is to ask for information or
    confirmation. When the question tag is used to ask for information, speaker position
    is
    “He/She doesn’t know whether the information is right or wrong”. And you want
    to know the answer. In this condition, question tags is given a pressure with rising
    intonation.
    INTONATION

    Otherwise, when the Tag is used to ask for confirmation the speaker convinces that
    the known- information is true. At that time the speaker just expect the answer to
    support his convincing, question tag is expressed with falling intonation
    CONCLUSIO
    N
    Question tags is a very common used in English daily conversation. The sentence
    pattern of question tags is used to ask for confirmation from the listeners about
    something uncertain for the speaker.
    By learning question tags, people can understand how to express confirmation
    or asking for information in English. Not just to understand, but to be a good speaker
    with using a good sentence. We hope that our paper can explain to the reader relate
    to question tag how to express it in a sentence.
