Tag-Questions

Tag-questions are affirmative sentences where a response is asked to verify the truth of the statement. They are used a lot in English as a polite form of the imperitive tense.
There are two contexts where tag questions are used:

1) Where the object of the sentence is suggesting, or acting like the statement isn't
true, which prompts the speaker to reafirm the truth.

Examples: Why are you still in bed? You want to go skiing don't you?
Why aren't you going out with us? Don't you like us?

2) To ask for reasurance for a statement. The closest equivalent to this in Spanish is
saying, no?, at the end of the sentence.

Examples:

You like coffee, don't you?
He can do that, can't he?
Is isn't very cold, is it?
It's hot, isn't it?
He's a nice guy, isn't he?
James didn't come, did he?
Kyle came late again, didn't he?
You like coffee, right?
