1. Question tags after negative statements

Add question tags to the following statements. Bill doesn't know Ann. Bill doesn't know Ann, does he? Ann hasn't got a phone. Ann hasn't got a phone, has she?

this/that (subject) becomes it in the tag. there remains unchanged: That isn't Tom, is it? There won't be time, will there?

All the tags, except the tag for no. 30, should be spoken in the usual way with a statement intonation. But they could also be practised with a question intonation. The important word in the statement must then be stressed.
