7. Everybody is here, aren't they?

8. Shut up, will you?

12. Nothing is too difficult, is it?

Explicação:

• Usamos a tag question "shall" quando na frase está presente o "Let's".

Ex.: Let's have a party, shall we?

• Quando na frase está presente hardly, nobody, no one, never, nothing, etc, usa-se um question tag na positiva, como did she?, uma vez que estes advérbios já colocam a frase na negativa, mesmo que não tenha lá o not.

Ex.: He hardly spoke, did he?

• Quando se dá uma ordem, usa-se o will.

Ex.: Shut up, will you?

• Quando a frase está na primeira pessoa (I am), pode-se usar o aren't I?

Ex.: I'm your friend, aren't I?
