Question tags are short questions used at the end of sentences for one of the two reasons:

- to encourage the expected response;

- to confirm the action/ event mentioned in the sentence.

Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject. In case there is no modal/auxiliary verb used in the sentence & the verb in the main sentence is in the simple past tense, the question tag is formed with 'did'. A positive statement is followed by a negative question tag and vice versa. Since the given statement is positive, the question tag is: doesn't he?
