Question Tag Review

1) The question tag for "I am" is "aren't I?" and not "amn't I?". 2) Imperatives can be followed by tags like "will you", "would you", "can you", "can't you", and "could you?". 3) The question tag for "let's" is "shall we?". Negative sentences use non-negative question tags, and "it" or "they" are used in tags to refer back to negative subjects.
