Usage notes
Interrogative auxiliary verb

have ...? (third-person singular has ...?, third-person singular negative hasn't ...? or has ... not?, negative for all other persons, singular and plural haven't ...? or have ... not?); in each case, the ellipsis stands for a pronoun

1. Used with a following pronoun to form tag questions after statements that use "have" to form the perfect tense or (in UK usage) that use "have" in the present tense.

#:<tt>�</tt>We haven't eaten dinner yet, have we?<tt>�</tt>
#:<tt>�</tt>Your wife hasn't been reading that nonsense, has she?<tt>�</tt>
#:<tt>�</tt>I'd bet that student hasn't studied yet, have they?<tt>�</tt>
#:<tt>�</tt>You've known all along, haven't you?<tt>�</tt>
#:<tt>�</tt>The sun has already set, has it not?<tt>�</tt>
#:(UK usage) <tt>�</tt>He has some money, hasn't he?<tt>�</tt> (see usage notes below)
This construction forms a tag that converts a present perfect tense sentence into a question. The tag always uses an object pronoun substituting for the subject. Negative sentences use has or have, distinguished by number. Affirmative sentences use the same followed by not, or alternatively, more commonly, and less formally, hasn't or haven't.
In American usage, this construction does not apply to present tense sentences with has or have, or their negations, as a verb; it does not apply either to the construction "have got". In those cases, use "does" or its negation instead. For example: "He has some money, doesn't he?" and "I have got enough time, don't I?" These constructions with "do", "does", "don't" or "doesn't" are considered incorrect in UK usage.
