Question tags aren't used all the time. Most questions don't need them - in fact, if you use them too often you will sound unnatural.
This would be absolutely fine: -Have you heard about the haunted plantations? -Oh yes! There are many plantations close to my hometown. When I was 11 I went to one and I was so scary! -Oh really? _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Hi Bev,
By the way, shouldn't it be "I was so scared"? ;) _________________ If it's not easy, don't do it!
That's how I got where I am. |

| Oh yes, thanks XD I think I was too sleepy when I wrote that but I had the doubt all the morning. But what I wanted to know is if "You went when you were 11!?" this part is wrong there. |

It's not wrong, but you don't have to add it. If you do that too often your conversation will sound stilted and repetitive. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
