Same-way tag questions
Although the basic structure of tag questions is positive-negative or
negative-positive, it is sometimes possible to use a positive-positive or
negative-negative structure. We use same-way tag questions to express
interest, surprise, anger etc, and not to make real questions.
Look at these positive-positive tag questions:
So you're having a baby, are you? That's wonderful!
She wants to marry him, does she? Some chance!
So you think that's funny, do you? Think again.
