Mario, you used to be short, didn’t you 这句话用到了反义疑问句。
反义疑问句指的是在陈述句之后加上一个意思与之相反的简短问句，用以向对方证实所叙述的事情的句子。
反义疑问句必须由意思相反的两部分组成，在前一部分（陈述句）之后用逗号，后一部分（简短问句）之后用问号。
反义疑问句的否定句必须用缩略形式，同时它的主语必须用人称代词，不能用名词。
反义疑问句有下面两类：
前一部分为肯定式，后一部分是否定式。
前一部分是否定式，后一部分是肯定式。
在使用反义疑问句时需要注意：
1. 陈述句和简短问句在人称、数和时态上必须保持一致，且简短
问句的主语必须为代词。
e.g. Tom let us come into the room, didn’t he

2. 陈述部分含有nothing, never, hardly, little等表示否定意义的词,
简短问句要用肯定形式。
e.g. He has never been to Hong Kong, has he

【拓展】
当用于提问人的相貌时What’s sb. like =What does sb. look
like 但是What does sb. look like 不能用来提问人的品格、品质。
询问某人喜欢什么时用“What does sb. like ”。
