Rules
Here are some rules to follow:
1.QUESTION TAG = AUXILIARY + PERSONAL PRONOUN:

Tony can run really fast, can’t he?

The twins are very nice, aren’t they?

2.If there is no auxiliary in the statement, use a form of do in the question tag:

Mum cooks fantastic meals, doesn’t she?

3. Positive statements => Negative question tags;

Negative statements => Positive question tags:

That’s your workbook, isn’t it?

That’s not true, is it?

They will help us, won’t they?

4. Orders and commands are followed by “will you”:

Don’t open the windows, will you?

Help your dad in the garage, will you?

5. Let’s is followed by “shall we”:

Let’s start homework now, shall we?

Let’s go shopping, shall we?

6. AND DON’T FORGET :

The question tag “am I not” is totally incorrect; always say: “aren’t I”:

I am late, aren’t I?

The statements and the question tags take the same tenses:

Bob helped you a lot, didn’t he?

You will help me tomorrow, won’t you?
