Tag question intonation

We vary the intonation of a question tag depending on whether we are asking a real question, or just using the question tag to keep the conversation flowing. See below:
Real question - rising intonation

You will do it quickly, won't you?

  John and Mark aren't English, are they?
Checking information or making conversation - falling intonation

We've seen that film, haven't we?

  Paul doesn't like mushrooms, does he?

Tag Questions

—When using tag questions, watch for 4 points:
     * What tense is the verb?
     * What kind of verb is it? (to be/other verbs)
     * Is the sentence affirmative or negative?
     * Does the pronoun need to be changed?

*present tense ->
*to be verb ->
*affirmative ->

—*present tense
*to be verb
*negative

Look at these changes:

—Jack's happy, isn't he? he is -> isn't he?

—Susan's tired, isn't she? she is -> isn't she?

— It's warm today,isn't it? it is -> isn't it?

— They're busy,aren't they? they are -> aren't they?

—You and I are fun people, aren't we? we are -> aren't we?

— You're quiet, aren't you? you are -> aren't you?

—I'm intelligent, aren't I?
am I not? I am -> aren't I?
I am -> am I not?
