Officially, they are all "mustn �t". However, a native speaker wouldn �t use a question tag with "must", most of the time. More natural: 1. and 2. Don �t you agree/ Don �t you think? 3. Since this is an observation, a question tag really doesn �t fit. Bruce |

Hello Sajida,
I would say "mustn �t you". Just like we say "You an swim well, can �t you?"
If I �m wrong please someone correct me!!!
Have a nice day |

I agree with Bruce. As a native speaker I would avoid " must" for tags because it is not very pretty in pronunciation.
