Rule 8: If we find everyone, everybody, someone, and somebody etc. in the Statement, then the tag is negative and ‘they’ is used as a pronoun of the tag.
Examples:
Everybody saw you, didn’t they ?
Someone has stolen his pen, hasn’t they ?

Rule 9: If there is the word ‘nothing’ in the statement then as a pronoun of the tag ‘It’ is used. Because the word ‘nothing’ indicate inanimate object.
Examples:
Nothing is possible without hard work, is it ?  
              
Rule 10: If the statement is imperative sentence and affirmative then the tag is- won’t you.
Examples:
Sit down, won’t you ?  
Have it, won’t you ?

Rule 11: If the statement is imperative sentence and negative then the tag is- will you.
Examples:
Don’t shut up, will you ?  
Don’t spit in the class room, will you ?
         
Rule 12: If the statement is a complex sentence, then we have to make Tag Question
from the principal clause.
Examples:
It was found, that David walked at the age of two, wasn’t it ?
