Notes for teachers
Use Part 1 to check the basic rule: the tag uses the same auxiliary and subject pronoun with the opposite polarity. Part 2 targets typical B1 errors, such as *amn't I*, *don't they* after *nobody* or *never*, and *isn't it* after *there is*. Part 3 covers meaning and short answers, which learners often get wrong (*Yes, I'm not*). As a follow-up, have pairs read the dialogues aloud with rising and falling intonation, then write their own checking questions about a classmate.
