Imperative + question tag
 
After an imperative we can use these tags:
will you? won't you? would you?
can you? can't you? could you?

a We can use a positive tag after a positive imperative.
Teacher:
Get out your books, will/would/can/could you?

The meaning is the same as
Will you get out your books? but the pattern with the
tag is more informal.
A negative tag expresses greater feeling.
Doctor:
Keep still, won't/can't you?

This suggests that the doctor is especially anxious that the patient should keep still,
or annoyed because the patient cannot keep still.
b In warnings, reminders and good wishes, the tag is
won't you? after a positive
imperative and
will you? after a negative.

Have a nice holiday,
won't you?

Don't forget your key,
will you?

In offers and invitations the tag is
will you? or won't you?
Have a chocolate,
will/won't you?

These tags make the sentences more emphatic.
