Question Tag for Irregular Verbs

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.
