S + AV	AV + S

he must	must he?	Must  he go there?
Fred will	will Fred?	Will  Fred do this?

 I can see                       can I see?                      Can I see the new design?

(a) You haven't got a car, have you? It was a good film, wasn't it?

Haveyou? и wasn'tit? - вопросительные тэги (мини-вопросы, ставящиеся в конце предложения). В вопросительных тэгах используются вспомогательные глаголы.

 - They came by car, didn't they?

 (b) В предложении с отрицанием (negative sentence) обычно используется утвердительный (positive) вопросительный тэг:

negative sentence + positive tag Tom won't be late, will he? They don't like us, do they?

 В утвердительном предложении (positive sentence) используется вопросительный тэг с отрицанием:

positive sentence + negative tag Ann will be here soon, won't she? Tom should pass his exam, shouldn't he? They were very angry, weren't they?

Обратите внимание на значения слов yes и no в ответах на вопросы с тэгом:

 - `You haven't seen Ann today, _ have you?' `No, I'm afraid not.' (= Have you seen Ann today?)
