Remember

 If a sentence contains negative words like never, seldom, hardly ever, we
generally use positive question tags. For example,
• She never comes late, does she?
• We don’t keep our country clean, do we?

• It hardly ever rains in a desert, does it?
 If the main subject is everybody, everyone, somebody, someone, nobody, or no
one, we use the subject they in the question tag. For example,
• Everybody loves her, don’t they?

• No one objected, did they?
• Everyone agreed, didn’t they?
