Question tags in Czech grammar are short questions at the end of statements that invite the listener to confirm or agree with what the speaker has said. They are typically formed using auxiliary verbs or modal verbs, followed by short forms of the subject pronoun. Czech question tags differ from their English counterparts, as they often have a variety of forms depending on the context. Mastering the use of question tags in Czech will enhance your conversational skills and make your interactions with native Czech speakers more engaging and natural.
