By the way, when I make a question like "isn't he here?" I'm was presuming that he would come right?

"Didn't she eat the cake?" (I thought it was her) or (I think She did probably)?

The normal word order for a question is "Isn't he here?" If a question has the same word order as a declarative sentence, it means you are questioning a person's previous statement or something they just implied. So it might be something like"We have to wait for him.""He isn't here yet?"

Isn't he - perguntaHe isn't - afirmaçãoHe isnt very strongEle não é muito forteIsnt he very strong?Ele não é muito forte?Lembre-se que no inglês perguntas colocam o verbo no início da frase, e o verbo aqui é o "is", ser, que está no início.

Não que eu saiba, pesquisei pra saber no Google mas não consegui achar uma página que falasse sobre se é possível fazer isso, porque apesar de estar claramente errado existem coisas que as pessoas fazem do mesmo jeito. Não sei dizer se é o caso, mas eu não me lembro de ver isso acontecer.
