When I was in Australia, many people ask questions like this:

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"

"It's really cheap, isn't it?"

"You don't have to do this, do you?"

Australian and New Zealander like to use tag questions when they make a statement.

However, American doesn't use that so much, they usually say like this:

"It's a beautiful day, right?"

"It can't go wrong, huh?"

American English is more simple to say but it's not very correct and polite.

I am not going to have a lecture, but instead I just want to show what I have discovered when I traveled in Australia and New Zealand.

Languages are amazing and beautiful, aren't they?

HAHAHA~

At first, I am not used to use tag questions because in my mother language it's not so common. Second, I used to learn American English when I was a kid, and we receive lots of American movies and TV series from America when we learn English, and they don't speak their language like that.

That's why it's so interesting when we have heard a mass of tag questions at the same time.

Tag questions are more grammatically correct than "right? huh?" and of course polite as well.
