Question tags

-
In the impersonal construction to show existence (there is, there are, there will be, etc.), "there" acts as a subject. For instance: "there isn't milk, is there?"
There isn't candies, is there?
There are books, aren't there?
Same-way question tags
We can use an affirmative tag with an affirmative sentence to show surprise, interest or concern. For instance: "she is your girlfriend, is she?"
You have travelled to London, have you?
-
We can do the same with negative sentences, but that shows a lot of aggressiveness. For instance: "you aren't really kind, aren't you?"
You aren't pretty intelligent, aren't you?
So you don't like me, don't you?
IMPORTANT.
If there are two verbs in a sentence, the question tag may refer to one or another, so you have to use your common sense.

Echo questions
We use echo questions to show surprise and interest. To do so, the listener makes a short question using the auxiliary verb the speaker has just used without changing the sense (positive or negative). For instance:
"I bought a new car".
"Did you?"
