When do question tags indicate irritation? #1 (permalink) Mon Jul 11, 2005 18:16 pm   When do question tags indicate irritation?		  
Hello All,

About the question
Sarah: 'I've torn up your homework essay!'
Paul: 'That's nice, isn't it?'
Could the answer be 'You have, have you ?'
:?
Thanks in advance

Yes, you can say that but in that case it's matter of fact and shows no irritation. The other one That's nice .... indicates irritation and sarcasm.
