Answer 2

These sentences are examples of tag questions. Tag questions are short questions added at the end of a sentence, typically to confirm information or seek agreement. The structure of tag questions often involves using the auxiliary verb from the main sentence in the opposite form, along with a pronoun.

Here are the correct tags for the given sentences:

1. They’re enjoying the party, aren’t they? 2. You aren’t joking, are you? 3. He’s living in Paris just now, isn’t he? 4. They’re getting married next week, aren’t they? 5. She’s looking after the baby, isn’t she? 6. It’s getting cold, isn’t it? 7. I’m not studying hard, am I?

In each case, the tag question is formed by taking the auxiliary verb (or modal verb) from the main sentence and placing it at the end of the sentence in the opposite form, along with the appropriate pronoun.
