Explanation:

• Question tags are defined as the brief interrogative fragment that is added at the end of an assertion or imperative statement and converts it into a question.
• It is the grammatical construction which primarily aims to seek confirmation regarding the assertion, order, request, etc. that has been made.
• The key rules of forming question tags are that they are framed in the opposite sense which implies if the statement is affirmative, the question tag would be negative.
• Secondly, it is framed in the same tense the sentence is written. These two errors are displayed in given sentences which have been rectified as mentioned above.
