QUESTION-TAG OR TAG-ENDING

QUESTION-TAG 1
Whenever we use an auxiliary or anomalous verb in an affirmative sentence, the Q.T.1 must be formed by repeating the verb in its negative interrogative form, as:
He is a doctor, ISN'T HE?
They were sleeping, WEREN'T THEY?
We must study, MUSTN'T WE?

But:
I am a student, AREN'T I?
She may come later, MAY SHE NOT?
There are two boys outside, AREN'T THERE?

NOTE:
I have a book, DON'T I? BUT
We have made a mistake, HAVEN'T WE?


QUESTION-TAG 2
Whenever we use an auxiliary or anomalous verb in a negative sentence, the Q.T.2 must be formed by repeating the verb in its interrogative form, as:

He isn't a doctor, is he?
They weren't sleeping, were they?
We mustn't study, must we?
I am not a student, am I?
She may not come later, may she?
There are not two boys outside, are there?

NOTE:
I don't have a book, do I? But
I haven't made a mistake, have I?
