19.1.4 Addition of n' est-ce pas
In English you can turn every declarative clause into a question by adding
isn't it, don't you
etc..
Examples
You have been at the doctor's,
haven't you?
You did not tell him,
didn't you?
You lost your money,
right?
The same function has the French
n'est-ce pas
(word-for-word: Isn't it?).
Example
Tu n' es pas allé chez le médecin,
n' est-ce pas
?
Tu ne lui as rien dit,
n' est-ce pas
?
Tu as perdu ton argent,
n' est-ce pas
?
