Preview: Explanations
1."isn't she"(a)
The statement uses 'is' (positive), so the tag must be negative: 'isn't she'. We repeat the same auxiliary verb in the tag.
2."are they"(d)
The statement uses 'aren't' (negative), so the tag must be positive: 'are they'. Negative statement → positive tag.
3."don't you"(c)
'You like' is present simple with no auxiliary verb, so we use 'do' for the tag. Positive statement → negative tag: 'don't you'.
4."does he"(d)
'Doesn't speak' is negative present simple with 'does'. Negative → positive tag: 'does he'.
5."weren't they"(a)
'Were' is past tense of 'be' (positive), so the tag is 'weren't they'. Match the tense of the main clause.
