0 Hi, how are you? 02 br

00 I now come to this website less often than I used to because of my busy schedule, but I really enjoy being part of it. 02 br

00 [1] You must be tired, mustn't you? 02 br
02 br
00 Some grammar books, apparently made by non-native speakers, have a question like this. Although the construct is right, I wonder if you would really say this. You may very well say," aren't you?" as "you" know the truth about "yourself." The same query comes into my mind about "You may be from Japan, mayn't you?" This normally would be phrased as "aren't you?," wouldn't it? 02 br
