A: Margot, can I sit with you at your radar sector?
B: But you haven't begun your radar training yet, have you?

Question tags are mini-questions we add to the end of a sentence. There are negative and positive question tags:
You're from Transport, aren't you?
You didn't understand, did you?
In question tags, we repeat the auxiliary verb, but change it from positive to negative, or vice-versa:
- You've seen that aviation documentary, haven't you?
- Jane can't speak ATC, can she?
- We didn't go to the Boeing assembly plant last year, did we?
- Peter and Sue'll get here soon, won't they?
- You must like Beech Twins, don't you?
