2.false, don't they? is correct.
3.false ,hasn't he ? is correct.
4.true
Answer:
9) True; Reason: This sentence has no helping verb so question tag "didn't they" is correct to use.
10) False; Correct: They love playing badminton, don't they. Reason: This question has no helping verb and when there's no helping verb the question tags having do/does/did are added to the sentence according to the tense of the sentence.
11) False; Correct: He has three children, doesn't he? Reason: here "has" may look like helping verb but it is instead used as main verb so if we go by the rules we need to add do/does/did question tags. Also negative question tags are used with positive sentences.
12) True; Reason: here sentence itself had helping verb "didn't" so it is correct to add question tag "did they".
Points to keep in mind:
• In sentences having helping verb with main verb question tags are made using those helping verbs. Example: They are eating, aren't they?
• In sentences with no helping verb question tags no helping verb the question tags having do/does/did are added to the sentence according to the tense of the sentence. Example: They love playing with dogs, don't they?
• In negative sentences question tags used are always positive ad vice versa. Example: They aren't coming today, are they?
Hope this helps you
