I was trying to fill in the blanks, but then I noticed you answered all of the question at the end of your notes. ^-^
Thanks Alan, for your wonderful lesson.

No. 6 includes a negative statement, so it uses a positive tag question. Since it does not include an auxiliary verb or the verb "to be," it uses the verb "to do."
Words such as "nothing" and "everything" use the word "it" in the tag questions ("Nothing is happening, is it?"), while words such as "nobody," "no one," "somebody," and "everybody" use the word "they" in the tag questions. This is standard English usage.
