Here is the structure of questions tags:
positive main clause → negative question tag Example: You are from Canada, aren't you?
negative main clause → positive question tag Example: You aren't from Canada, are you?
In the sentence you are referrring to the main clause is negative, that's why the question tag has to be positive:
She's definitely not coming is she?

Dear Torsten. About exercise question tag, I'm confused, because some answers were only positive way: A-She hates the sight of him. B-She does, does she? Wouldn't be: She does, doesn't she? Would be ? I'm look forward your answer. Cheers. J. Alberto. |
