In the past couple weeks, I consulted grammar books on hand and searched online for Tag Question repeatedly. Unluckily, I have never seen any Tag Question is similar to the sentence pattern.

Here is my two cents:

4. Let me do it myself, will you?

5. Let us do what we want, will you?

7. Let's not go to the park, all right/ O.K.?

8. Let's not watch TV, all right/ O.K.?

9. Have a cup of tea, won't you?



Hi Buddy,

"all right/ O.K.?" is not the way a tag question presents. It must consist of an auxiliary and a pronoun.

"Let me..." or "Let us..." or other imperative sentences can be tagged with either "will you" or "won't you".

"Let's..." or "Let's not..." sentences are normally tagged with "shall we".
