Yes, that's the right answer following the pattern negative + positive and postive + negative as in these examples:
You can't, can you? You did, didn't you?
You haven't, have you? You have, haven't you? _________________ English as a Second Language You can read my ESL story Present Simple |

Hi teachers
Are these sentences correct (they are grammatically similar to the question in hand): 1. You must've mislaid your keys somewhere, mustn't you? 2. They could have called at least, could they not? (implying that you expected them to do so, although they didn't.) 3. You might have seen him at the office, might you not? (indicating that it is likely that you've seen him at the office.)
Thanks Ali |

Hi Ali,
(1) is fine. (2) I would suggest 'couldn't they?' and (3) I would suggest 'mightn't you?'
