The document discusses question tags, which are short questions added to statements in spoken English to ask for confirmation or agreement. Question tags can be positive or negative depending on the statement. Positive statements take negative question tags like "isn't it?" while negative statements take positive question tags like "are you?". Examples are provided of filling in question tags after statements to form valid questions.
