Hello
Je me lance en anglais, sorry for my mistakes!
I study the question tags and I know that I have to take the same auxiliary as in the main clause.
Here is a sentence that seems weird to me.
You no longer have yours, do you? ...Why DO?
The auxiliary is HAVE in the sentence why not : You no longer have yours, HAVE you?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Bonjour
Dans votre phrase, "have" n'est pas le verbe auxiliaire des temps du passé, mais un verbe ordinaire qui, en anglais moderne tout au moins, se conjugue avec "do" aux formes négative et interrogative : Do you have yours ? You don't have yours.
