Adding -DIR- to verb tenses

My book says that adding dir to a conjugated verb gives the sentence an assuming meaning.
Unfortunately my book gives only one example:
"Sen de geliyorsundur?", meaning "(I suppose) you are coming as well, aren't you?"
I was wondering if that sentence doesn't need the question particle, for example "Sen mi de geliyorsundur?", "(I suppose) it's you who is coming as well, right?"
Or isn't that necessary at all?

"sen mi de" is wrong. should be "sen de mi".

- sen de geliyorsundur, değil mi?
- sen de geliyorsun mudur?
- sen de mi geliyorsundur?

they all are possible but the first one is preferred.
