: Hi!

: A grammar book says that the following tag question is good. But my American friend disagrees. Which opinion should I follow?

: So Neil wouldn't come, wouldn't he?

: Thanks a lot for your help.

So Neil wouldn't come, would he? That's the way it is usually said. I agree with your American friend.
