Wrong!
The auxiliary used in the statement is repeated in the tag question. We use an affirmative tag after a negative statement and a negative tag after an affirmative statement.

Wrong!
In the simple present tense, we make tag questions with do or does.

Wrong!

Wrong!

When has/have is the main verb, we usually make question tags with do or does.
