Two
This isn't going to affect my interview, is it?
Three
I know you, do you?
Four
You were on the Northern Line this morning, don't I?
Five
We haven't met before, have we?

หลักไวยากรณ์จากบทเรียนย่อย
Question tags turn a statement into a question by adding a 'tag' at the end.
The tag is a short 'yes/no' question.
In the simplest form, when the statement is positive, the question tag is negative. When the statement is negative, the question tag is positive.
The meeting is at three o'clock, isn't it?
You haven't prepared properly, have you?The subject pronoun in the statement and the question tag is the same:
You haven't prepared, have you?
This programme is really good, isn't it?
The boss is really nice, isn't she?The verb in the statement and the question tag match if there is an auxiliary verb (like have in the present perfect, be in continuous forms, or modal verbs like can and would).
We can make this happen, can't we?
You haven't met the new secretary, have you?
The boss isn't coming to this meeting, is she?If the statement only has a main verb in positive or negative forms, we make the question tag with do, don't, does or doesn't.
We know the answer, don't we?
He works for that other company, doesn't he?
The boss doesn'tlike too many spreadsheets, does she?
