Choose the correct option

You’re planning to visit your family this weekend, _____?

• are you?

• aren't you?

• don't you?

Answer explanation

The correct tag is "aren't you?" because it is a negative question tag that matches the positive statement "You’re planning to visit your family this weekend." The other options do not fit the context appropriately.

Choose the correct option

We’re supposed to be there by 6 p.m., (a)  

• haven't we?

• are we?

• aren't we?

Answer explanation

The correct tag is "aren't we?" because it follows the structure of a tag question for a statement in the present tense. The main clause "We’re supposed to be there by 6 p.m." implies a confirmation, making "aren't we?" appropriate.
