Tag questions

Let's go for a walk, shall we?
Open the door, will you?
I am late , aren't I?
This/that isn't very interesting, is it?
She has a beautiful voice, doesn't she?
You have cut your hair? - do by yourself
You had your hair cut? - do by somebody

The meaning of a tag question depends on how you say it. If your voice goes down, you aren't really asking a question.

We often use a negative sentence-positive tag to ask for things or information or to ask somebody to do something. The voice goes up at the tag in sentences
e.g You wouldn't have a pen, would you?
