Complemento

sujeito que compe a primeira frase. Exemplos:

frase principal. Ento, se a frase estiver no past simple, por exemplo, a tag
question tem de acompanhar.

bem como no present perfect:

(Ela nunca esteve na Europa, esteve?)

Algumas vezes, encontramos tag questions sem o auxiliar na primeira frase. Para
identificar qual o auxiliar deve ser utilizado, podemos transformar a frase afirmativa em
interrogativa, como em:
Afirmativa: She works with you. (Ela trabalha com voc.)
Interrogativa: Does she work with you? (Ela trabalha com voc?)
Tag question: She works with you, doesn't she? (Ela trabalha com voc,
no trabalha?)
Quando o sujeito de uma tag question no presente for I, o auxiliar no ser o
am. Esta uma exceo. O auxiliar utilizado, neste caso, ser o are. Veja o exemplo:
