TAGS Exercise: Positive and negative tags

Tag questions are usually negative after positive statements (You remembe/,

don'tyou?)
and positive after negative (You haven't forgotten, have you?)

They are also positive after statements of negative meaning (That's scarcely

a problem, is it?)

Add tag questions to these sentences.
