Aqu tienes un esquema del orden que tienen que llevar siempre los elementos de una frase
interrogativa.
En ingls es frecuente que terminemos las frases con una frase corta, de signo
contrario, la cual tiene la intencin de pedir la opinin o buscar la aprobacin del
interlocutor, son las llamadas question tags.
Equivalen a: verdad?, no es verdad?, no?, no es as? en serio?
Ejemplo:
Your brother is older than you, isn't he? (Tu hermano es mayor que t, verdad?)
You can help me, can't you? (Puedes ayudarme, verdad?)
Para formar esta pregunta corta utilizaremos el auxiliar de la frase principal y su sujeto
pero de signo contrario. Si no tuviera auxiliar entonces utilizaramos el auxiliar to do.

He likes Susan, doesn't he?

He isn't getting married, is he?
