RULES TO ADD QUESTION TAGS TO IRREGULAR VERBS:
A) Question tags follow helping (auxiliary) verbs, not the main verb type (regular or irregular).
B) So even if a verb is irregular, the tag depends on the tense and helping verb used.
C) We have to read the sentence and correctly identify the invisible helping verb.
D) Always add a comma before the tag, and end the sentence with a question mark.
