In the same way you can tag questions with 吗 (ma), tag questions can also be formed using 不 (bù). This is done by putting an affirmative-negative question at the end of a sentence.
Structure
Verb + 不 + Verb
This can then be attached to the end of a sentence to form a tag question. Tag questions seek confirmation or acceptance of what has been said. In English, "right?" and "OK?" are often used as tag questions.
Examples
- 你 会 说 中文 , 对 不 对 ? You speak Chinese, right?
- 他 是 你 的 老板 , 对 不 对 ? He's your boss, right?
- 我们 是 好 朋友 , 对 不 对 ? We are good friends, right?
- 你 昨天 没 回家, 对 不 对 ? You didn't come back home yesterday, right?
- 你 有 新 女朋友 了 , 是 不 是 ? You have a new girlfriend, right?
- 九 点 开会 , 是 不 是 ? We are going to hold a meeting at 9, right?
- 你 姓 王 , 是 不 是 ? Your last name is Wang, is it not?
- 我们 回家 吧 , 好 不 好 ? Let's go home, OK?
- 周末 去 看 电影, 好 不 好 ? Let's go to a movie this weekend, OK?
- 你们 明天 来, 好 不 好 ? You come here tomorrow, OK?
