Preview: Explanations
1."aren't I"(a)
'I am' is a special case. The tag is 'aren't I' (not 'amn't I', which doesn't exist in standard English). This is the only irregular tag form.
2."shall we"(b)
'Let's' (let us) always takes the tag 'shall we'. This is a fixed expression — 'shall we' is the only correct tag for 'let's'.
3."aren't there"(c)
When the subject is 'there', the tag also uses 'there' (not 'they'). Positive → negative: 'aren't there'.
4."don't they"(d)
Indefinite pronouns like 'everybody', 'everyone', 'somebody', 'someone' are replaced by 'they' in the tag. 'Everybody knows' is positive present simple → 'don't they'.
5."will you"(a)
Imperative sentences (commands/requests) take the tag 'will you?' or 'won't you?'. Here 'will you' makes a polite request.
