Fill in the blanks.

Progress 0 of 12 answered
1No one knows the answer, ...............?
Wrong!
After negative indefinite subjects like "No one", use the plural pronoun and an affirmative tag: "do they".
2He has few friends, ...............?
Wrong!
Because "few" has a negative meaning, the correct affirmative tag is "has he".
3He makes a few friends wherever he goes, ...............?
Wrong!
The positive present simple clause takes the negative tag "doesn't he".
4She passed the test, ...............?
Wrong!
The positive past simple clause takes the negative tag "didn't she".
5He wants to be a scientist, ...............?
Wrong!
The positive present simple verb "wants" takes the negative tag "doesn't he".
6They dare not attack us, ...............?
Wrong!
When "dare" is used as a modal in a negative clause, the affirmative tag is "dare they".
7He dared to swim across the channel, ...............?
Wrong!
With lexical "dared to" in a positive past simple clause, use the negative tag "didn't he".
8She didn't come, ...............?
Wrong!
The negative past simple clause takes the affirmative tag "did she".
9You don't want to go, ...............?
Wrong!
The negative present simple clause takes the affirmative tag "do you".
10They learn English at school, ...............?
Wrong!
The positive present simple clause takes the negative tag "don't they".
11You look surprised, ...............?
Wrong!
The linking verb "look" is present simple here, so the correct tag is "don't you".
12She helped you, ...............?
Wrong!
The positive past simple clause takes the negative tag "didn't she".
