Fill in the blanks.
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".

The negative present simple clause takes the affirmative tag "do you".

The positive present simple clause takes the negative tag "don't they".
