The above words are the correct words to use in this sentence.

Explanation:

This type of sentence formation is called as question tags.

• A question tag is a construct in which an interrogative element is added to a declarative sentence or imperative. The resulting speech act includes an affirmation paired with a request for affirmation. For example, the English sign question "You're John, aren't you?"

• We can add question tags like isn't it?, can you? Or did they? into a statement to turn it into a question. Question marks are more common in speaking than in writing.

• We often use question marks when we expect the listener to agree with our statement. In this case, when the statement is positive, we use a negative question sign.
